Nice rock - I have one as well. Quick question though - how does she distinguish between a wild item and a captive raised one? Intrigued.

the feeder or Lab Rats and Rabbits we all use for our captives smell totally different when compared to wild rats, rabbits and hares.... Basically the smell of the domesticated stuff doesn't even initiate a feeding responce... she will wave her tongue at the movement and then just move on or lie back and relax

Hmm that is interesting. I could see (maybe) a recently wild caught specimen being that picky, but it is strange as wild prey items would smell different, if it was a type of hare from Africa or a hare from the States. You think, I haven't personally smelled or tasted either so who knows?

Edit, just noticed you are from Africa....Read Rusty Read.
