You might think I'm weird but I was bored last night. I needed to feed the snakes so I decided to make it amusing for myself! My bedroom was clean for once so I got my nice warm mouse and layed a scent trail all around the floor. I went over things and around things and even through a cardboard tunnel or two. Then I left the mouse on a sheet of paper in the corner.
Spunk was already hunting in her viv because she could smell the mouse. So I let her out, put her at the beginning of the trail and sat on my bed to watch her hunt!
I thought it would be a nice activity for her. I think I'll try it with the Male next week.

What do yaz think?

(I have since washed my floor!!!)

Sounds like a mice game, but I'd be put off by the extra mousework!

My floor is wooden so a quick wash and it was fine! I just thought it would be a more interesting and stimulating way to feed them, instead of just throwing her a mouse:)

I do that with the monitor from time to time. I hide his rats in his room while he's having a bath and then watch him search for them. It's pretty funny to watch him go nuts over the scent

That sounds fun, not sure if my girlfriend would appreciate a mouse being rubbed all over the carpet though! Izzy would love it though!
