I've seen a few of these. It's still totally unnecessary and I've never seen a reasonable justification of using a pinky.

Plus, its not the best use of Drowning Pool either.

I coulndt watch the whole thing cause I didnt want to see the mouse ripped apart, it seems really cruel.

I have never seen the need to feed Sheba a mouse. There are so many other sources of protein out there that are cheaper and less messy! And having had Sheba for so many yrs, making "less of a mess" has a lot of appeal!

BUT, I am not applying the same thinking to pet snakes, since those are obviously very different than our turts.

Sorry, I'm not even going to watch this. I'm assuming I'd have the same reaction watching a fish be ripped apart.

If the feeder fish are a bigger size, Sheba oftentimes bites them in half. It gets very messy. :roll:

Thank goodness she is a pig & eats them quickly....

I have never fed my turtles feeder fish, and I have explained why in previous posts.

...ive fed paco minows before... but... he doesnt literaly kill them in the water.. he has a habbit of dragging them onto the dock.. then letting thems sit there until they stop flopping.... then pull em bakc into the water after they drown. i have no idea why he does that... any idea why. (sorry about that pointles story,... i have a habbit of getting off topic) but i rareley feed paco feeder fish cause they usualy wind up in peices in the filter...and i grow attached to them.. so... i dont want to see them die

I think Paco will be none the worse for not getting feeder fish.

Woww... That was disturbing... Even though knowing turtles will eat anything they think is edible.
