pet store had no hoopers

At 5 months a hopper is way too small as well... I feed larger hatchlings small adult mice sometimes

I don't think my language was inappropriate , come on, if you really get offended by words like damn, pissed, and hell then I would have to say that you are a little sensitive on the subject, because those are just words to express anger, what would you like me to say gee wilikers that darn lady.

That would disingenuous of me because that's not how I speak. just being myself and that's how I felt at the time, please forgive me. I just think society is waaaay to sensitive these days man.

Do you know what the fine is for saying a bad word on the radio? 60,000 dollars. that's ridiculous.

I'm not offended or sensitive on the subject. I was just giving you a heads up because others may be. That's all...

You seem awfully worked up over something that isn't that big of a deal...good luck with your inevitable hypertension!

[armbarvictim]

lol I am not really that worked up to be honest, the whole thing about people being offended by a word that isnt directed to anyone in particular and a word that isnt even considered foul language baffles me.

Thanks for the heads up though. what happened to freedom of speech, society is so unbelievably watered down these days that you can't say anything without getting fined or warned or whatever. like is someone going to see the word damn and start crying or get legitimately offended, I sure hope not man, they might think less of me and perhaps people think that will reflect on this site, but it shouldn't, it should be a reflection on that particular person.

end rant

anyhow I am dethawing an adult mouse and am going to see if this little turd monster will eat it.

I hope the word turd doesn't offend anyone.... sarcasm calm down people lol

One way to avoid this in the future is to go to F/T's or have your own small breeder colony.

[armbarvictim]

thats a great idea actually i was thinking about that myself, however ive tried FT and he hates it but i will see what he does tonight and figure it out.

Thanks!

btw its also not a big deal to feed small prey items...

I just fed my smaller girl a fat rat pink because it was hurt from being bit by another mother. I didn't want it to suffer so I fed it off. She ate it without a problem. I'm not sure that the pet store was in the wrong here, and you might be slightly over-reacting. No big deal, move on to your next feeding.
