Hi all
Well Obran was so interested in food last night ...... well not that interested otherwise he would have eaten and i wouldnt be posting ...
He was doing everything right but when i offered the hot rat (too small but thats all they had) he just acted like it wasnt there in his face and continued to keep looking for food ... what did i do wrong?
He hadnt eaten it over night  |

I just relaised how bad my spelling is, lol
Thanks i will. To be honest i think i know the answer .. the first time (last time) i fed him i slipped with the tongs and took the fur off one side of the rat which exposed the skin ... he then flew for it after smelling the 'blood' .... that was an accident on my part but to actually brain a rat ... i dont think i can do it. A pinkie yes but a rat ... jeez it just turns my stomach and i never thought it would  |

I have alwasy been the same, braining and all sorts turns my stomach.vI have always asked the wife to remove dead animals from the house as I have a "thing" about it. Strange that I can handle frozen rats though.....
It IS easier when they are frozen to cut them, or hammer the head a touch ;) |
