Got my Allys to eat mice - question

vanstorm Feb 08, 2007 09:58 AM

And there is fur all over the tank today? Does the turtle digestive system expell fur and keep everything else for greater digestion? Looks like there is a mouse fur coat hanging on one of my plastic plants lol

Never saw that before, and I used to feed the odd feeder mouse to one of my snappers all the time (basically if I had a snake that refused a thawed mouse). I don't think they digest the fur all that well though, and maybe it's worse with ally's because their system is more geared toward fish eating?

How big is the ally, and the mice you're using? You might try something like fuzzy-size rats instead - less fur.
