My friends large Jardini swallowed a mouse one time. He crapped fur for a week. LOL

Thats awesome. Detri-fur. :ROFL:
 
my silver i had a long time ago ate a 6-7" african cichlid.. it took forever for it to swallow it down.. it almost looked like it was smoking a cigar lol.
 
oh and that same silver tried to swallow my magnet scrubber but quit after it figured out it was not possible.
 
My silver ate a 12" dragon fish(the south american velvet goby) once!!
It took almost 15 mins for it to swallow it!! My silver was only 15" when she ate the goby!!
I put the goby in the tank thinking that it would be alrite... but my silver prooved me wrong!
After that, I never dared to add any other thin long fish in that tank!!!

That is cool. Thats a big weight gain!
 
Back when I had one I fed it small lizards (anoles, and swifts), pinkies, frogs, even a small 4" garter snake I found in my backyard (I wouldn't have fed it to my fish but my dog almost killed it, and at first I tried to save it. When I realized I couldn't I decided to let the fish have it.). Honestly though the biggest things I fed it were either the frogs or shrimp (not alive). For the most part I just fed him pellets, crickets, worms (red, meal, wax, & nightcrawler) and shrimp with the occasional big item or feeder fish as a treat.
