Feeding frenzies...

[drache]

not many of mine do that, but I have a couple who are convinced that it's the tongs they want to eat and they keep trying to get past the food on the end of them
that's why my rubber tipped tongs are now rubber sleeved

My male Cali does worse. He goes around the food, past the tongs, and tries for my hand every time. I don't try to feed him that way anymore. I have to just leave the food laying there for him or he forgets the food and goes for me. Little pain in the....butt.

I have seen the "frenzy" though, the eastern babies do it every time you try to feed babies as a group. I spent way to much time rescuing little ones from the mouths of their brothers and sisters to ever want to feed them as a group again. I've even seen them latch onto themselves while this is going on. Little mouths open and heads swaying back and forth and biting anything that comes close to their mouths.
