Live Feeding: Step by Step and Options?
Alright, let me start by saying that I have never fed live before. Ever. Nessie eats whatever I throw at her, so I never bothered to try live in the year-plus I've had her.
Izzy, on the other hand, just arrived to me on November 19th. She has refused two or three meals since her arrival, and at 2 months old, she's about 80g. Now, tell me if I'm jumping the gun on purchasing live, because Nessie was never ever picky about meals, and only refused one when she was about 150g, but ate the following week, so I wasn't concerned.
Anyway, long story short, I bought two mice fuzzies today and arrived home, and lo and behold, Izzy is in blue. So now it's highly unlikely that she'll eat at all until she sheds, considering that she hauls back at anything that moves. So I have two bitty mice boys and no way to keep them alive, let alone feed them.
What can I do? Should I just feed them to Nessie, who never minds a free meal? They're literally as big as her head.... Or should I just cozy them up and wait til Izzy's done with her old skin? I have no way to sustain them, really...
