Another Feeding Question...sorry guys

Carpet Jan 22, 2006 11:03 AM

I bought a mouse for my ball friday.
When i got home i put her in with two other feeder mice i have, a female and male.
When i put her in and they picked on her a little bit but i thought that they would stop like they usually do.
This morning i noticed some blood in the cage and looked a the new feamle and she had blood on her back......so the question is will she be ok to feed to my ball tonight?
Or sould i disspose of her?
I just dont want to feed my ball something that might be infected and what dont.

any help would be appericated!

jyohe's right. Mice are territorial. as long as it's not dying, toss it in and see what happens. The smell of blood might be an enticer to the snake also.
