Right on, Rhea...and that is EXACTLY why we raise our own meat animals... because here they are happy, healthy, free, respected, and indeed, spoiled. They are just not named. (Hey, Rhea, my butcher really does make house calls!! LOL)

You know what's very interesting to me-- Fluffy won't eat rats!! I bought small rats because she generally eats two large mice and a chick a week, and I thought well, so she can eat a rat instead. She won't touch 'em!! I even thawed the rat with two mice this week, in the same bag, and kind of tangled them up in her tank together-- and the next morning she had picked out the mice and left the rat... LOLOL!!! So mice and rats must taste or smell pretty different--???

Anyone else experience this??
