Blood by the mouse

Okay I feed ft to start with, now she took the first with a powerful motion and she seemed interested in the second but didn't take it.


So I went down once an hour and zombie danced it abit. When I last went down I had left it draped on top of her hide over the entrance. She's been in that hide for a week.

When I cam down it was knocked off and there were three drops of blood. I don't know if it was from her or the mouse and I don't know if I should pull her hide off and check her since she ate one.

I don't wanna regurg but she makes me so worried spending all of her time in her cool hide.

It's probably from the mouse. It have seen blood occassionally come from some of my f/t's when thawed...

It was three distinct drops. I noticed some blood on it's nose. I was just worried she struck at it and maybe hurt herself on her hide.


I wasn't sure they still bled.

I second it was probly from the mouse. I've thawed out rats before and seen blood on the snakes substrate, then I looked at the rats nose and it was from there.

When you thaw f/t they often bleed from the nose sort of like thawing a steak. I would think it was from the mouse.

Thanks everybody. I am a little prone to worrying about her ^_^'

I've had blood spray from their nose during constriction. Makes the tank look like a crime scene and a mess to clean up. I think it's because the blood vessels rupture during the freezing and thawing process...

It has already been said, but it was more than likely from the mouse. I fed one of my guys a big F/T rat last night, and when I just checked on him there was a huge blood smear right where he struck.

Nothing to worry about.

dont worry, its another vote for the mouse here. ive just had to pick out bloody aspen from junior getting his rat and i had a bit of news paper in there for feeding lol
