hazliya: (bowie)


I have been asked to document Bowie eating a mouse, as it seems impressive that he can swallow something five times the size of his head. To that, I say: Yes, it is impressive. Yes, you can have pictures. So when I fed him tonight, it was with camera in hand.

I defrosted a mouse, put Bowie in his feeding tank, and fetched my surgical tongs. He's a pretty good eater; he usually strikes the mouse with very little encouragement.

Note that the squeamish may not want to look below the cut. It's pretty neat, though.

Pictures of the weekly dinner. )

This whole process takes about a minute and a half. He can swallow baby mice like nothing now, but the general rule of thumb is one appropriately-sized prey item a week.

And now I get to have dinner. Fantastic.

Hope that satisfies your curiosity. =)
