Ursula

[John1982]

Funny story. It was feeding day for shag so I thawed a small rat pup for Ursula. Well she was in her hide and I couldn't see her so I placed the rat in front of the entrance and immediately there was this flash and no rat in my tongs any longer. She had grabbed the rat and back into the hide she went. Scared the stuff out of me. lol

Feeding time is at least half the fun of working with pits. Even normally calm animals can turn crazy when food is presented. I have a couple now that I have to just toss meals at as they've mastered the art of swerving around the prey and latching onto the hand that feeds them.
