Howdy all!
I would not like a lecture concerning the dangers of live feeding or the benefits of F/T. I did the research and I made my choice. I feed live. I've had my guy a month now, he's about 18". The first week he took a fuzzie, the last two weeks two pinkies.
Both times he hovered over the food for 10 min or so before striking and eating. Today the pet store assured me that he would be able to handle a mouse. It was dumb of me to believe them. When I went to put it in the cage I hesistated, and maybe I should have decided not to do it.
My BP went right for the mouse and killed it immediately. But I don't think he can eat it. I don't watch the whole process, I try to leave the room and give him some privacy, but everytime I come back in his mouth is on the mouse, but I think it's too big.
What do I do now?
Oh dear god, it might be too late to do anything, I just went in there and he now has the whole face in his mouth and has wet the body and is working on stuffing it in. What if it's "too big"? He could be killing himself, right? What should I do?! Please help!
