Kurly ate his first Pinky!!!!!

Kurly1 · 07-30-2007, 11:31 AM

Hi,
Just wanted to let everyone know that Kurly ate his first pinky today!!!! It was the first time that we tried feeding him one and we didn't have any problem getting him to eat it. Well, we did have to cut it in 3 pieces for him because he couldn't get his mouth all around it when he tried to eat it the first time and threw it across the cage!!!! lol. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time and we laughed about it for a few minutes. We did rub a nightcrawler around the mouse before cutting it up and once we placed the pieces in the cage, he gobbled it right up.

After he ate it, he went straight to his water bowl and laid in it for a few minutes which is something that he has never done after eating worms or fish. Now he his happily resting in front of his hide with a nice full stomach.

We are very happy that it only took one try to get him to eat pinkies. He is such a good little guy!

Pinkies are much better for them than nightcrawlers, and the poo less when you feed them mice too lol. Your snake would get bigger on a pinky diet since they are so much better for your snake.

how about fish?

Fish are better than earthworms but not as good as mice.

Does she know that you can buy frozen ones, and that she'll never have to see them?
