Just fed my BRB (in her feeding tub) and normally she is fine just to be lifted back into her viv......not tonight!

She decided that maybe my fingers were more food and lightening quick she struck for me. Don't know how I avoided her - I reckon I should have been in the Matrix!

So I suppose I might try her with 2 next week, just to make sure she's full

I'm always cautious getting them back out of their feeding tubs. If they're on multiples like Petal is on 2-3 fuzzies I usually offer the second mouse almost immediately. When they're finished feeding I usually leave them for a short while so they realise there's not another mouse coming and then make sure I avoid the business end!

I use a long handled radiator roller as a hook, http://www.screwfix.com/prods/99320/Decorating-Sundries/Rollers-Trays/Stanley-Dynagrip-Radiator-Mini-Paint-Roller-4# but with the end bent up to form a slight hook and rounded off at the tip and without the roller head.
May be useful to some.

She's normally fine, this was the first time, I perhaps should have left her a bit longer, or she may want more food.

It doesn't bother me, not with my ninja moves
