My baby girl eats live mice. Yes, I know, I know, but she has always refused p/k and t/f, and I frankly love to watch her attack the little boogers. The problem arises from an incident that occurred about a month ago. I was doing some research on feeding, and thought I might ought to try to get her started on prekilled before she gets big enough to do some damage. She has never struck at me, but better safe than sorry, I figured. I suffocated the mouse, and used tongs to dangle it to get her attention. I dropped the mouse when she struck at it, but she continued to strike at the tongs instead of the mouse! My husband thought it was hilarious, he said she thought I was trying to steal her dinner. Since that night, I have continued to feed her stunned, but live mice. It scared me no end when she continued to strike at the tongs, because I was afraid she'd hurt herself (her teeth) on the tongs. What do you guys think? (Her birthday is April 15, 2007 if her age matters)
