    Re: Feeding pinky bits?

    thaw them in warm water....boiling hot water can cook the pinkie a bit... I just use warm tap water to thaw. I chop frozen ones for my little ones and thaw in warm water and mix with chopped worms or fish....works good for me

    Re: Feeding pinky bits?

    Yeah...blood doesn't bother me at all...which I guess is a good thing considering the whole nursing career...now if it's my blood, that is a different story...you should have seen me when I had to prick my finger in class...I almost passed out! Julian's dad is like that with blood though...if he sees any blood at all he passes out.

    I crush up a little reptomin and mix with that Don, works great.

    Re: Feeding pinky bits?

    I'm not as afraid as my uncle... a drop of blood makes him have a seizure.

    I used to get sick from playing video games with blood in them, because it freaked me out that much but... You could say blood doesn't phase me in games and I'm a certified maniac in them.


    On topic, though, cutting up pinkies and worms doesn't bother me. The chicken hearts disgusted me, with the coagulated blood stuff in them seeping out.

    Re: Feeding pinky bits?

    You really wouldn't want to be in my dissection labs then...I won't go into details. On topic...Wayne...I made a little garter goulash and put it in with Hermes and I'm waiting to see if he eats it...fingers crossed.

    I cut up worms, pinkies, fish and heart into something that's like the goulash, but thinner and... well weirder... Haha. The snakies love it though, they eat it right up

    Well...Hermes did not eat the Garter Goulash....I guess he just isn't ready to eat yet... I'll keep trying though...because I don't want the poor little guy to get hungry...

    Give a break between attempts. Trying too frequently is not only unproductive, but unless you have a piggy snake to eat the food, it will go to waste.

    I have a few ravenous feeders that are fantastic for eating "leftovers"
