Hey everyone. I have a 3" and 4" RBP in my tank. I had fed them a few frozen pinkie mice before with no problems, but then took it a step up. I fed them a live baby mouse (about three times the size of pinkies). The guy at the pet store said not to, because it would make a huge mess and they wouldn't finish it all and I shouldn't do it unless i have like at least 10 p's. But I had faith in their hunger and dropped him in. Wow is all i can say. I was horrified. They finished him, every last bite, as gruesome as it was. There wasn't a single thing left to clean, they even ate the skull. But i'm not sure how often I will do it, because I know its not good for them to get that much fat, but also, it was really sick.

congrads..you can feed probably every other week or so if you like..its a good source of protein..fresh meat can't go wrong with that.when i first feed a mouse to my fish it was really gruesome..kinda felt sorry for the little felow..but that was all of five minutes long..then i toss in the other one...

You gotta feel sorry for the fellas. I dont recommend mice as a food staple for your fish.

Nice to hear someone's having success feeding mice.

Congrats with the success in feedding your Ps mice, Bill. Next time you decide try to send up a vid or some pix of the carnage!!

That is great!

Yea, next time you have to film it. I'm going to feed a mouse to my p's here in a few weeks. Yes yes. I will try to borrow a camera to film it.

Glad to hear that it worked out!
