I'm still trying to understand HOW tub feeding would cause organ damage???? I don't understand the logic.
I have my older b.p. on cypress mulch and got a scare the first time I fed him on that substrate. He ingested what I thought was a fairly large, and rigid bit of bark, with the rat pup. It's very possible I'm overreacting, but since then, I feed him in a large tub with a newspaper liner, which is placed right next to his enclosure. I wait right there till he's finished eating and starts to crawl out of that tub. I then very gently pick him up and return him to his normal enclosure. He seems to be fine with it and it certainly makes ME feel better. LOL My younger b.p. is already on newspaper as a substrate so I feed her in her enclosure. So far, everyone is happy. :-)
I would be very interested though, in any documented evidence of organ damage that was directly related to tub feeding. I'm always willing to change my mind IF presented with reliable documentation that there's a better way. Anecdotes don't qualify as "factual" for me.
