    I realized that moments after I posted, but couldn't find the edit button muahaha

    And I know other people do it, not sure if it's all the time like me though! Sauron seems to prefer if he gets it from me... with tongs or leaving it in his bin, it takes him forever (sometimes a few hours) for him to decide to eat. When it's in my hand, he beelines for it

    I used to hand feed my hog, and I have to say I've never seen such voracious eaters. Less than 30 seconds and it's gone!

    From my experience, they don't tend to strike as much as they just meander on up to the prey. My male usually will rest his head on the food for a couple of moments before deciding to take a bite and chow down.

    Nope, don't strike. Just slither up to it, poke it with his nose, and start eating.
