I feed Thrasher, the young one, 1 full grown mouse or 1 weened rat 5 or 6 days a week. Sometimes I will give him 2 in a day. The mice/rats are either alive or fresh killed. Thrasher's head is alot smaller than Tripod's so I feed it smaller food items.

Tripod is the newest one I have and oldest. He is giving me headaches trying to figure out what he wants. He will not get on a schedule. Sometimes I can't fill him up and other times he won't eat for a long time. Before he got into this thing of not eating much and disapearing for weeks at a time, he liked more food less often. Every 3 or 4 days he wanted more mice. I fed him a small rat once that he had a hard time eating. He never would eat another one.

Here is a journal I have been keeping on Thasher
