I'm all excited because Mesa, the little infernalis I got from Tori, had her first pink and I can hardly believe it
I've been feeding her separately in a critter keeper and for the past four feedings I've tossed a pinky in with the live minnows and a couple of times I found the pinky outside the water dish, indicating that she grabbed it and then dropped it
yesterday I tossed in the pinky and some salmon strips for variety
there were only two minnows
normally I would have taken her out after a few hours, but last night some distractions went on and I decided it was okay to leave her over night
this morning, the minnows were dead, floating among the salmon strips in a smelly mess - and no pinky
it was the tiniest pinky and so I wasn't sure whether she had a lump and I searched that critter keeper three times
it's gone though
hurrah
she must have eaten it
I always feel this sense of devious victory when this happens - like I pulled one on them
and I'm always surprised that they've fallen for my scam
