Last feeding I dropped in a mouse fuzzy after trying a rat, yeah a tiny little fuzzy, and she struck and coiled it, which was funny. That got her primed and I then proceeded to feed her the rat.

This time, I tried a rat first, and she struck, but missed the rat and clipped my finger. But, she came back around and took the rat. I dropped in a second rat and she took that too.

So finally, this is the first feed in a while where she ate no mice!
This would be why I ALWAYS use feeding tongs. If she missed, you may not have been heating them up enough, so she had trouble finding a heat signature to hunt.
