I've only fed her crickets up until today... figured I'd try a mouse. I'm a little surprised she took it, since it was almost as big as her.

hahah awesome, especially with the music :D

That's nature....

If you couldn't buy your cat or dog little nuggets of food, convienently packaged in a bag, you would have to buy raw meat, which is just one step away from killing it yourself.

:p

True, and I have watfched with enjoyment my cat hunting and killing. I guess I just don't see the appeal of spiders beyond watching them eat...

That's the kind of mouse we have. Her whole generation grew too big for the snakes that they were bred for and my little sister had a friend who offered it to her. They're pretty tight.

Shame on you, that's not what you do with mice, you sicko! ;)

Shame on you.



You know that spiders eat mice and birds and little lizards in the wild, right?

thats out of your hands though. when you make an uncessary choice that causes suffering, your responsible. no one forced him. and so he's responsible for his direct actions that result in unecessary cruelty, not something to be proud of.

and i really wouldn't use that "it happens in the wild" arguement to justify anything. a great many cruelties occur in the wild. would allow u to justify most any kind of evil.

Sucks being lower on the food chain, doesn't it. Unless you don't eat anything that casts a shadow, you can all shut the hell up.

ROFL!

To those who think I'm cruel, that mouse saved the suffering of many little crickets who would have been eaten in its place. :evil:

Mouse update - she's about 1/2 way done with the mouse (almost a day later?)

I was also verbally abusive to the mouse.

more complex nervous system? larger brain?:p

when it all comes down to it, it was completely unecessary.
