Neonate First meals?

jaggedlight Jun 29, 2005 09:29 PM

My question is what prey and method do you use to get babies to take their first meal? Please share as much detail as you can. Thank you for your input.

step 1: place live rat pinkie or mouse hopper into tub with snake

step 2: grab a cold pabst blue ribbon and enjoy

step 3: come back in 30 minutes and remove any uneaten items

step 4: repeat every 3-5 days

note: shlitz, falstaff, coors or keystone light, Milwaukee's best ice, or steel reserve will all substitute for pabst blue ribbon. This is a critical step, do not skip!

This is mispelled. It should read Samuel Adams, AKA Sam Adams - regular. Non of the a fancy smanshy girlie stuff. If you are under age, then it should read Mountain Dew or Pineapple Sunkist. Whatever happened to that? I don't see it anymore.

Yeah pabst blue ribbon might very well be in the top 10 worst beers made in america, but I am not going to encourage anyone to drink sam adams...that way there is more for me...

Not only should PBR not be consumed by humans or pets Sam Adams is not much better. How about a Russian River Damnation or A Westvleteren 12. Or one of the Many Great Belgians and Micros available in the country. PS I drink for a living.

That must be what I'm doing wrong. I always grab a Busch.

bachman Jun 30, 2005 05:52 PM

I would not remove the meal until the next morning, cuz alot of the eat when they have a little peace & quiet overnight.

Yeah just make sure that you are not feeding it a cat or it will end up looking like the ball someone posted on here a few days ago...or wait a mouse did that...lol

Anyone else like Salvator Dopplebock brewed by Paulaner. Good stuff, I recommend it.
