Haha,so I received my latest order of fish food and opened the box to find that some of the items I ordered did not arrive but what did arrive was this...

Here are the other items that I ordered that were shipped.

No pet squirrels. Don't have them here. They'd be eaten by my other pets anyway..

you could lure the squirrels in, capture them, and then feed them to your fish. I'll bet drowning mammals are eaten fairly regularly by large tropical fish.
I used to give pinky mice and fuzzies to my armatus as a treat....but I won't give one kernel of these seeds to any of the squirrels around here.I hate the tree rats!

I was always leary of caterpillars due to some of them being toxic but I tried slugs once and my oscars spit them out and wouldn't touch anything else for a few days.

New Zealand cuddlebug. They're known for sneaking into people's beds at night, crawling under the covers and cuddling up to them for warmth. Hence the name.

They'll occasionally drop from trees and eat small animals and children.

This is a female one, they have a stinger they use to inject larger animals with eggs.

yeah i had the same experience with slugs. they did not like that slime. idk about toxicity but they would chow down on gypsy moth caterpillars.
 
Children lol....they could be like bedbugs from Hell if they inject their eggs into sleeping humans!
