I'm getting rats to start a colony. Yay!!!!!!
So now each of my guys can each have a heafty size rat pup instead of spreading out three hoppers between five annoying fuzzies. I know someone that I can get rabbit pinkies for like 3 bucks, and chicks for like a 1-3 depending on size.

I fed everyone chicken bits last night. Lee and pixie ate the most, but everyone else did have a bite or two.
They also got a small rat last night. It was skinned as someone had the back bone and tail, another the legs, and leeloo the brain.

Found pixie and jack chomping on a two day old chicken back under my bed today. lol At least now I know they are eating raw without my persuasion.
I also made ground beef, chicken, and deer soup last night. Yummie. They also have deer meat for the next couple weeks.

Sounds like your guys are starting to take the initiative regarding the whole raw thing. Good stuff.

Soups are still cooked. I may change to raw, but making a nice warm soup is their favorite thing right before bed!
Their first experience with deer and the soup didn't go well. Hardly a soul licked anything. Tonight someone snacked on a few pieces + they all ate soup. I'll let you know on if anyone ate anything else in the morning. ^.^

So...I hunted down deer in their tunnel tied to the top of the fn.
Second try- Some was eaten. Soup Devoured.
Third go- Everything was eaten.
Tonight I am going to feed them some deer, and a second helping of soup. My mice aren't big enough to really be worth feeding, and my rats haven't showed pregnancy bellies.

I've heard that rats are a little more difficult than mice, I buy mine. Sounds like your venison was finally a hit Who's eating all this? ciao |

It looks to be a weird group. Eating raw- Lee, Jack, monster!!!! , and Surprisingly Pixie.
Between Between- Ripply. She eats mice, but not sure about the raw. She's also a delicate eater. I think she just is shy about it.
Between- Swipper is dabbing into raw. She'll join in and try to bite pieces off, but won't eat it. She loves her soup. Soupies- Dakota, Dingo, and Bear. They will eat soup, but aren't interested in the meat. tonight we had chicken. Pixie keeps hiding the chicken in her tunnel. |
