Thrasher
Well I did my normal feeding routine tonight, thawed out a rat and a fuzzy mouse for the kids, fed Lisa first because I knew SHE would eat, and wanted to get the smell all over my hands to help tempt the unknown with Cheech's first feeding. Lisa hit HARD as usual and got down to business. It STILL makes me jump when she strikes. So then I took the fuzzy mouse into Cheech, and tempted and cajoled, did the "mousy dance" and watched him sit there, just smelling and following my movement, not hardly moving himself. Then, finally, he hit, accurate and hard, but what was funny, he never coiled, just thrashed and slung that "live and helpless" mouse around. *sigh* I need to teach him better table manners.
That's ONE major milestone achieved. Now we just wait a few days to make sure he doesn't regurge.
Before anyone jumps on me about prey size (he is about 26"), I didn't want to feed him too large of a meal for two reasons:
1. It's my understanding that Suris are more sensitive to prey size than say, a BP.
2. I wanted to make sure he ate at all first, and didn't want to risk a full meal regurge, if he's going to regurge I want it to be something small. If he holds this down, I will step up to a proper size meal next week.
NO I will not feed multiples.

Good job! 
You know, I really couldn't help myself and busted out laughing. There aren't too many guys here that will ever mention the words mousey dance. They will "dangle" them, "move them back and forth", "swing them by the tail", etc., but they won't do the mousey dance. Nope! Not ever the mousey dance! Thank you very much for clearing things up. Now I know that the male keepers do the mousey dance too!
I hope Cheech is gonna do great for you (I'm pretty sure he will). As to your idea with the table manners: I wanna see a pic with Cheech wearing bips, holding knife and fork in front of the dinner plate!  |
