Kicked/ripped from inside??
I just fed Delilah her two adult mice, and the first one was no problem... she struck within a few seconds, and took it down pretty quickly. The second was almost exactly the same size, but much more hyper - I swear, this mouse was doing flips & leaping from the floor to the cage! After about 15 minutes Delilah finally grabbed it, and started to eat. I was watching to make sure everything went okay, when I suddenly noticed blood drops on her neck. 
I could then see the mouse's foot (?) moving inside, right around the spot where the blood was. Did she get ripped and/or kicked by the little sucker?? I took a few pics so you can see, and I'm 90% sure it's not the mouse's blood (which was around her mouth). She seems fine now, but I just wanted to make sure this isn't anything serious, and that I gave her the right sized prey. Also, would this be a good reason to get her on F/T? Here are the pictures:
See the line of blood at the bottom of her neck?


Does this mouse look too big? I was giving her hoppers, before somebody here suggested large adults instead...
