Misunderstanding

[guidofatherof5]

While feeding a few breakfast this morning there was a misunderstanding. My little scrubs thought I was giving them the bird.
They didn't appreciate it very much and let me know it.

They really are very aggressive eaters. It only takes a few moments for them to realize it's not what they expected and they release.

Being home with 5 sick kids does have its advantages. A little extra radix time.

Steve your radix's are soo cute, & very aggressive eaters!!! None of those bites hurt? just curious!

I've seen Tremors too many times to take this very lightly!

Now, Steve... even with extensive training I really don't think they're going to make great attack animals I can just see you in your cruiser with a radix basking in the back window

Thick old skin. Little tiny teeth. It's more like their teeth get snagged on the skin, rather than penetrate

Adults are a different story. They plant them in hard. Have to peel them off or their teeth can be broken. Don't get biten very often by the adults. Usually, only by one who's in a big hurry to eat. Most of the time the adults take everything very nicely. My kids help feed the adults and don't have too much trouble.

I think you're right. But imagine 200 full grown ones.

I would tell the suspect "Don't run or I'll release my radixes" Not sure my Sheriff is ready for such a unique idea.

LOL... would be fun to watch, though! First the suspect gets that "huh? what? radishes?" look and then the lightbulb moment as snakes flood from the car. LOL

Salmon was their breakfast. Salmon juice on the fingers is all it takes to get them going. While I was feeding this group in the nursery, the other groups smelled it and all came out expecting theirs. They have a great sense of smell and don't miss much.
