yeah my ball actually prefers that now. Don't know why. He seems afraid of the "zombie dance" (don't blame him- zombies are scary). He's also in breeding mode though looking for a girlfriend, so his feeding has been finicky anyway.
NOW, as for weird feedings- when they bite themselves and constrict. Back when Ramesses still liked zombie dancing mice (over a year ago now) he grabbed and constricted the mouse.. but when I looked at him.. his teeth were in his own body!! He was constricting the mouse and himself. He's not the brightest ball of the clutch. He eventually let go and figured it out lol. I figure he's just a little slower than his clutch mates since he was the last one to start eating haha.
