Crayfish eating mouse situation

[itsthelendon]

i don't think the thread would get deleted unless people were in an uproar and fighting. We post piranha feeding vids all the time and they stay up until random people wonder in and bicker

So...been a few days, how about that video/pics?

Sorry still trying to get them on here, My labtop can't handle the HD videos so I must go to my parents to use their computer.

There are a TON of great staple foods you can feed them, unfortunately they aren't as fun as watching something drown and be ripped to shreds. I can't see there being much nutritional value to feeding mice whether they are dead or alive

Aren't as fun? I've never mentioned it as being fun. I guess you didn't read all the commments, the last one was dead, and the future ones will be dead as well so everyone can stop argueing with it being wrong to have a mouse drowned by crayfish.

Also, last time I checked crayfish don't have the ability to shred or rip anything apart. The dead mouse goes in, a couple crayfish find it, eat for hours, leave it alone, more find it, eat it for hours, and the process goes on for awhile. This is what I like about it, all the crayfish can eat until their full and there is still left over for others. There isn't much fighting and I never have to worry about one not eating.

My crayfish are active, fast, and seem very healthy. Thats all I care about, who cares if their diet isnt filled with nutritional value found in a little dull pellet. A wild crayfish isn't worried about nutrition, its worried about survival.

There better things to feed your cray, I would think letting a dead mouse sit in your tank for hours while the cray graze on it would not be good for your water quality. Buy some frozen shrimp from the market its got more nutritional value than mice. In your post you its "boring" to feed pellets to your cray, try some of the frozen bloodworms,daphnia,or krill at your LFS. They would be a lot more healthier.

I do a water change after every mouse feeding .

Wild crayfish scavenge river beds and eat literally anything. My once wild crayfish, eat fish and mice.

Well now they are not wild crayfish anymore, what is your point about feeding them dead mice? I hope you don't use the wild mice you found in the woods...especially you said the last one was rotten...
