F/T question

When feeding frozen/thawed mice is it normal if a little blood leaks? I noticed that after my king devoured his mouse that there were a few blood stains on the paper towel. thanks

Yes, they are still full of what ever was in them when they died. No cause for alarm.

very normal. in fact i think it's a good sign that the f/t food item is completely thawed.

I have a male bci who is a real rat wrecker--when he's done constricting and devouring, I only wish there were a couple drops of blood on the bottom of the feeding box! Yes, it's completely normal for blood and/or other bodily fluids to leak.
