A crash in the night....!

A friend of mine had a bp that decided not to take a feeder mouse. Went ahead and let the cat give it a try. Cats are so brutal when it comes to things they prey on. They immobilize it of injure it just enough that they can't get away from it, and keep it alive for a bit longer to play with it and practice their hunting skills....

Thats true.. I have watched my cat hunt a mouse and they do exactly how you put it Elevate.. They like to play with there prey before snapping its neck and killing it.

I think this pic fits this thread nicely....LOL

Lucy and Atreyu. And it would be nothing without Godfathers text adding abilities. ;)

That ball looks pretty healthy and thick.. you give him rats already.. or are you still on mice..

My cat Inky usually ignores my BPs, because they are so damn inactive, and when they come out at night, the cat is asleep at the foot of our bed :)
One night I heard squeaking in our room. I jumped out of bed, snapped on the light and found Ink had a small mouse in between his paws. Inky ran, and I grabbed the mouse by the tail (kinda stupid, it could have had rabies) and the thing was still alive. I put him in an old tank for the night, and in the morning I let him go down the road. I could easily kill a mouse if it was running through my house, or if it's destined to be food for my snakes. But this one was too freakin cute!
I would have used this one for snake food, but it was wild, and who knows what parasites it could have had.

He's a rat eater...when he isnt off feed.... :?

aw man is he off feed? I'm sorry to hear that - I always feel sympathetic when these BP's don't feed - even though we all know... (say it with me now)

"It stresses us out more than them" - perhaps that should be the BP.net slogan lol. :)

Yeah...he's been on strike since September. And I'm going to have to wait another week to try again, because I just moved him into a new enclosure.

I like the slogan... ;)

Can anyone tell me why there is no mouse-flavored cat food out there? :)

Mice have no particular flavor like fish or lamb. Its also for the main reason that cats dont
eat mice they just hunt and kill them for there own amusement. I dont think taste is a factor
when it comes to them slaughtering these little guys but I if it were to be an artificial flavor It wouldnt
be much a difference from the lamb, chicken, or beef formulas.
