| i use the zoo med plastic tongs, thats mainly because we have both the metal and the plastic ones at college and i got on better with the plastic one! although when i feed 8's mum i do use the metal ones as she is quite an eager feeder and i like that bit of extra distance! |

I don't use anything. I just take the mouse by the tail as it is easier to jiggle and twirl. Not for everyone but an infrequent tag does not bother me.  |
