    stoopid mice

    Well my only live eater finally got bit. I feel like it's partially my fault. I didn't notice she was going into blue whenever I fed her last weekend. She's been a mouser so when I put the first one in I was kinda surprised she struck twice and it hopped out of the way before she got it but then I didn't think anything of it and just did my usual check that it was all the way down before offering another. Anyways, I'm guessing with her limited vision she didn't get a good hold on one of them and it bit her about 5 times. They didn't seem vet worthy to me, just a little blood on the one so I just cleaned her up and put plain newsprint on then a few times. She finally shed and the lower bites are just like scratches but you can see the one closest to her head is the only one that looks a little deeper. So my question is, should I hold off feeding for another week or two until that top bite heals more or resume normal weekend feeding? I hate that I've tried every trick possible to get her on ft to avoid this happening but the pain in the butt just wants nothing to do with dead.

    Yeah I've been leaning towards feeding. I figure if she's only eating mice then it's not stretching too much there.
