I thought of this thread a few minutes ago while feeding my baby BP for the second time. It was an adult mouse, and I was hoping it was not too big (no other slightly smaller frozen ones available, and I went to two stores).
Anyways he stared eating sidweays along the neck, and that was just not going to work. I watched for 10 minutes and wondered if he would abandon the effort.
Then he stopped biting it, and seemed to ponder the situation, smelling the mouse face (tongue flicking) for about a minute before starting again at the nose. It was as if he realized the sideways strategy was NOT working and intentionally figured out how to restart properly.
The mouse looked much bigger after blowdrying, I was amazed to see it all go down.
Question, the mice i ended up buying were very clean, healthy looking, and it appeared very fresh but in paperbags (obviously killed by the mouse breeder, a small operation). It had blood on its face. How are they usually killed? Does the blood on the face signify a less than painles death?
