Literally the the first feeding day after I post here praising my bp for finally being pretty good at getting her mouse down headfirst most of the time, we had the worst time tonight getting that thing down! I wound up re-offering it twice because she kept losing it, and I swear she grabbed it by the leg every single time she struck tonight! She kept trying to grab it by the tail and the back legs and dropping it when she realized that wasn't working, then dragged it all around her water dish and all through the cypress mulch before finally finding the head. I just thought it was so funny and ironic that she had so much trouble tonight right after I came in here talking about how well she was doing!
All the while this was going on, my hognose was just watching in the background wondering where his mouse is. He could smell the mouse and doesn't get his for a few days still, so he was just watching us with his mouth wide open, like he was trying to get my attention. Worst peanut gallery ever!
