    Fishing for... rats?

    Alright, I'm still working on figuring out the easiest way to feed my bps. They both take f/t without an issue off the tongs so normally I get them started on one, leave for about 5 minutes, come back, give them the second. Well... last night, I got lazy. Got them both started on their first and then set the second ones in their tubs and left. Went back up about 10 minutes later to get the corns started and not only did Ceti leave her second rat laying in the tub, completely uninterested, but when I looked at Aria, she appeared to be drowning herself in her water bowl. Look in, there is one very soaked rat at the bottom of her full water dish. Pull Aria out... She had substrate sticking out of her mouth and was rather upset overall. Got the aspen out of her mouth and dried off before fishing out the very wet rat. Offered it to her and she acted scared so it got to dry off/heat back up on her heating mat while the corns ate. It was entertaining though. Once it was dry and warm, Aria ate it but I'll never forget that look she gave me as I pulled her out of her cage, water dripping off her nose. Ceti ate hers the second I picked it up with the tongs. Didn't even get it all the way off the floor of the tub.
    I must say, balls are more entertaining to feed than corns...

    Lol! I've been lucky so far. Other than the drowned rat incident, they've eaten every time without hesitation. Switched both toe f/t and they didn't think twice about taking it. Though I do realize it's luck and as they grow, that might change. We'll just have to see.
