here's the story. last week i bought a small rat (still pretty nice sized) and 2 feeder mice for my ball python. he ate the rat first, but then decided he didn't want the mice. i was a little pissed 'cause he usually eats like a pig (fed him a hamster 2 weeks ago bigger than the rat and he was still hungry). anywayz, i took the mice out of the cage and kept 'em in one of those smaller plastic ones for the time being, which is why i was pissed... i wasn't counting on having to keep mice alive for over a week.
anywayz, a couple days ago i figured out why he's not eating... he's getting ready to shed. so in a couple days he'll be all pretty again (yay!)... but very hungry. now here's the good part... the feeder mice turned out to be a male and a female... and they've fallen in love.... how sweet... too bad they're destined to become jakie's lunch in a couple days. lol.
just thought i'd share...
peace
