    Fed 2 mice today

    We stopped off at our local Mouse Supplier today and all they had were "hopper" sized mice. Really small sized mice.

    So I think, no worries, they can each have 2, and that'll balance out.

    Well my Bumblebee took the first like a champ, even at 140grams he's a killer and coils up on them before I can even get the lid back on the little critter keeper.
    The second one, he wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with. Damn.

    So I put my Bumblebee back in his enclosure, and grab my wife's "Normal". She is usually a night eater, I can't get her to take anything during daylight hours but loves midnight snacks, so she completely ignores it.

    As I put the Wife's snake back I look over and the bumblebee is tearing around his tank hunting like no ones business. I drop the mouse in his tank (which I was hesitant about feeding him in there) and he snatched it right up. Guess he just needed some extra time.

    This is good! Listen to ur snakes if they tell u they wanna eat the don't b afraid to double drop a small prey item. This being said dnt not over feed but in my experience its hard to do this wiv bp cz they will only eat if they wanna eat! Corns and kings sometimes just eat and eat so u have to b careful. Beautiful bee by the way

    Good looking little bee.
    FYI there is no problem feeding them in their enclosure, I don't know why people have a problem with this.
