    I just finished feeding my 5 month old BP tonight, he took the darn pre- kill butt first. It took him even longer to eat it that way, this is the first time he's done this. My quesion is, is this a bad thing is it going to upset him in any way ??

    The legs don't fold properly when eaten backwards, and they can get damaged by that or by the nails scratching them, but usually it doesn't cause problems.

    Not likely. More likely he'd get a sore throat, or a possible infection from a scratch internally, but that's still not highly likely. Just be alert and if anything suspicious comes up, take him to the doc, but he'll probably be just fine.
