Florence is doing my head in tonight! I love her to bits but honestly i think she was dropped on her head as a baby.
Trying to feed her...First she struck at the heat lamp so missed the rat and put herself off. Then she struck at me and missed the rat, (missed me too thankfully) Then she faffed about not sure if it was safe to eat. Then i heated it up again with a hair dryer, she struck at it and then dropped it and put herself off again. Finally, she struck and got it by the ear....I bl**dy ask you?...the sodding ear!!! So...having dragged the poor wee rat about by the lug hole, she is now trying to fold it in half and eat it by its middle.
Boris, on the other hand has just had a rat while languishing in his tree! if that was Flo, she would have fallen out and broken her neck!
Beats watching telly i suppose! |

| HAHA marching the rat off to the head master, just think of the entertainment value, its better than dancing on ice of other such bull-moose. Sanke always eats bum first and it takes her about 20 minutes to get it right, running around with her mouth open, I sometimes want to pin her down put the head in her mouth and shout at her until she takes it the easier way. |

Could be worse Sandi I just tried feeding my Boa, Pandora. She comes up all sneaky like at the rat then as she's really close the whiskers tickle her nose and she shakes her head like a dog and backs off again, did this 4 times before my arm started to ache then did it another 2 times while the rat was just laying in her viv :P
I can't even get her to bite the thing |
