funny yet sad feeding attempt...
i dont know if most of u remember from previous post, but i have a fear of rodents, and feeding my BP is a big ordel for me, and consists of me wearing leather gloves and opening the little box thing the mouse comes in and pushing him into the tank, if he dosent take it it takes me like a hour and a few drinks just to dig into the tank (while still wearing my leather gloves of course) and grabbing that disgusting rodent by the tail and placing him back into the box and disposing of it. Well i havent had any issues lately cuz of course my BP has been fasting and mainly eating 1 mouse a month, 1 out of the 3 or so i offer, well he has come out of, or atleast i thought so, his winter fasting and has been out of his hide alot and took one mouse down with authority, and showed he was still hungry so 2 days later fed another and destroyed it, and then another again in 3 days. So i was like good, finally hes come out of it, and 5 days later i tried again, well this time he did not go for it. So of course after 5-10 minutes of not showing much interest in the mouse, and retreating back into his hide after the mouse got close to him i knew of course he wasent gonna take it. But ill be damn, if this was one of those "smart" mouses, u know the ones that get up close to the snakes head, takes a wiff, realizes that he is in a tank with a predator then runs away, well this mouse was the worse, i was trying to grab his tail but as soon as i got close he did one of those fast sprints to get away from my hand like a house mouse does when u turn on the lights. Then after a few minutes of me trying to catch him, he really got scared and started jumping trying to escape! At that point i was like dammit, trying to catch him but as soon as he tried to jump up and out of tank i immediatley jerked away. Meanwhile my bp is neatly tucked and barricaded in his hide. Well finally i had to, yeh this is embarassing, but i had to take a piece of plexi glass from my previous setup and used it to slide into the front of the hide of where my bp was to ensure he could;t get out, and i, yes, threw in a glue trap on the side by where the mouse was, the manipulated him with this long rod from the curtains in my room to run around until he finally got caught in the glue trap where i finally was able to snatch him up.
I feel like i should be wearing a skirt. Anyways just a embarassing moment i felt like sharing. Atleast none of you guys can laugh right to my face
