Safety 1st...

domingos Jul 24, 2008 08:17 PM

I recently purchased eight inch metal feeding tongs for my ball. I have always fed it by hand by holding the pre-killed mouse by the tail, without any problems. When the breeder that sold her to me found out, he insisted that I buy the tongs (preaching safety 1st). Hey, he's the expert...

Guess what? The first time I go to use them, my ball missed its target and landed a strike on the tongs. My fingers are grateful.

THE IRONY!
