LOL - didnt catch those "life sucking spawn" from your previous post - got 3.1 of my own - oh the joys!!! And two Siberians - now that is a handful - our Siberian passed away last year she was 16 - we haven't replaced her yet - but the kids are ready.



Anyway - to answer your question - yes accidents happen feeding live - is it "dangerous" not really - your chances of a major accident happening are probably about the same as having a major car accident. Over the years live feeders tend to pick up battle scars - so far we have been lucky - our (2) live feeders are pretty good shots and we keep an eye on them when they feed to make sure there aren't any major problems. They get minor bites, scratches, etc. we treat them before putting them back in their cages and have been lucky. Back in the old days f/t weren't available so you kind of had no choice but to learn to look out and deal with bad grabs. We've gotten in rescues that haven't been so lucky.
