but inverts NEEEEEVER take verts in the wild! only sickos would even think of that!
heh, sorry. i get whined at for feeding F/T mice to breeding projects sometimes this, in part, is what made me revise my estimate of what the antenna spread bouncing movement in centipedes means. i used to think it was akin to a threat/warning display... now i think it is a way of gathering more data with their sensors |

and my reply to people who say that is something on the lines of, "how the hell do you know for sure??? are you god?? did you invent the invert?? you specifically designed it to, "not eat vertibrates??"" ive seen inverts eat verts in the wild myself. surely you dont believe that rubbish do ya caco???

oh, not at all. though i haven't personally seen itin the wild (yet) i have read many many accounts of it.
one thing i do agree with though is that it is much more morally defensible to feed F/T than live to everything possible. or to prekill, humanely. my prefered method (when i get get an axman) is cervical disconnect combined with simultaneous brain scramble by virtue of bluntforce trauma. at most, a quarter second of pain is possible with a clean blow |

i agree with you completely there. i tend to thump live prey when needed. | ||
