MAS (Minnesota Aquarium Society) is here [at the park] doing a fish count and setting up a native St. Croix River fish tank. I begged one of the smaller fish off them and put it in a tub of water. Winnie would have nothing to do with it.
So we put it in her water dish and in no time Winnie had fish for lunch!

Re: Winnie Ate A Fish!
Thanks, you guys. I didn't know about the calcium stuff until I came here. This is the first calcium Winnie's had since last summer. James, I fed her meal worms during the winter, not knowing any better, and I've no idea if she ate them. Ever since the ground has thawed I've been giving her worms.
I'm SO XCITED to have been able to give her fish with scales, bones, eyes and fins because I know that's best for her!
Winnie doesn't rock, you guys do!

Good for Winnie!! Isn't it fun to watch them chase the fish around?

Re: Winnie Ate A Fish!
And she's had a SECOND one! The crayfish captured the red horse (very small baby). The crawdad has since been removed and in removing him we got the red horse away from him... And gave it to Winnie! It was deader'un a doornail, but she went have that puppy like lightening!
YEEHA!

Re: Winnie Ate A Fish!
Anji, she didn't chase the fish. In the tub of water I'd put it in Winnie would have nothing to do with it and only wanted to get out of the water (I think I've much more of a forest garter than a marsh garter). And sadly - because I didn't know any better at the time - Winnie's water dish is just barely beg enuff to have held the fish with a little bit of water.
She came skulking up on it... eevvveerrrr ssssoooo sssllloooowwwwlyy. Sat, with her head cocked and one bright, shoe-button eye focused on the fish. And then...

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Struck and nabbed that puppy and swollered'er down! Then being the lady she is, she quietly 'burped' and then dabbed at her mouth on a rock.
