Hi I had my tegu out last night for his usual evening excise and his feed when he decided my socks looked more tasty :hihi:

your sock video was funny but the others on your face book of other reptiles eating rodents was quiet sick poor defenceless mice and rats , and these people find that funny i thought this was a forum for animal lovers not for watching defenceless creatures die , it made me sick to the stomach

I dont agree with it myself but when an animal wont eat what do you do let it starve....it eats frozen rats now but when i got him he was half starved and wouldn't eat nothing that was dead and the link was to the funny video not the feeding one as I no this is a family site..it not my problem you was looking through the other videos is it

I agree - that is the reason why I didn't look at them as I had a feeling that the poor little mice may still be alive - NOT something that animal lovers want to watch although we appreciate that these creatures need feeding - it doesn't make it any less upsetting. :mad:

I agree Knighthawk - I looked at yours - you can't be blamed if someone decides to look at the vids that are brought up afterwards - with titles such as 'Tegu versus 5 mice' and 'Tegu - mouse no 1' - I would have thought that this is an obvious enough indicator of what you are going to see if you click on it!! :confused:

thanks lots of wild captured animals wont eat frozen food till they have acclimatized and settled in....if they took a good look it was a rat not a mouse and was dead in one bite not like some of the sick videos that are posted on youtube just for fun....and I would like to no what other videos I have supposed to have posted with live feeding:loopy:
Next you will be saying this is cruel too

So sad ....by the way i would love to see your dogs try to eat the monitor Lizards...and why would anybody want to feed kittens to a snake ?:loopy:
By the way do you agree to your dogs eating horse meat or people eating burgers or bacon...
There's loads of reptile keepers on here are you saying we are all cruel because we feed them ? (I will get them a McDonald's next time if it puts a smile on you face:rant:)

BY THE WAY NICE SPELLING

It might not be pleasurable but it is nature just like a cat playing with a moth, a bird catching the worm, it goes on all around us all the time. As for watching the video on youTube you had the choice to stop it when you saw the mouse but decided to watch till the end instead.
