Third successful feed!

Sapphyr · 02-18-11, 04:35 PM

So my cute little BRB has successfully fed for the third time. I've decided he's a 'lazy' eater. This is the second time he's slithered on up to the fuzzy and carefully inspected it before just slowly latching on to it.

This time I was kind of 'scared' I was going to get tagged 'cause he kept slowly slithering up the fuzzy's body. He got to my fingers and stopped, turned his head down, and latched onto the fuzzy's hind end. Sure does seem like he knows the difference between my smell and a mousie's smell. LOL And no, I'm not serious, I'm just saying it -seems- that way, but I still do expect to be tagged eventually.

Anywho, and then, after he swallowed it, I saw something I wouldn't of thought I'd see, let alone catch on video! After he was done, he eased it on down a little before beginning to slither out of his little container. So, I had the bowl of water the mouse had thawed in right beside the container he was in, just an inch gap, so I gently pulled him up enough to not get hit and scooted the water closer, then sat him back down onto the bowl's edge. He then slithered on down and took a big drink of water! Glad I got to watch~ Thought I wouldn't of caught that so soon.~

Videos for all!

Congrats!

Brazilians drink long and often. I have one senior male who breaks for the water right after he eats. Almost all the others, from juvenile on up, take a soak right away after (and presumably drink, it's just not as obvious).

I appreciate that. I try not to worry, but I would be lying if I weren't. Still whatever happens...happens.

Ahhhh c: .. I was afraid maybe he was dehydrated 'cause he drank for so long, even though I keep fresh water in there daily D: I guess that's just a BRB thing.~ And Tea, it's great to hear your BP is doing so well with the move.~

Anywho, don't worry Nenna, I'm sure she'll come around eventually :c
