These havealways eaten mice for me non stop . they really do have a high metabolism and defecate almost like clockwork the next day afther feeding. out of 7 only one is a prob but she was sinse i bought her so no surprise there .I actually breed mice now just for the hogs.Arthur;4934560; said:Those look pretty sweet. I've always wondered how well they eat in captivity and what you're able to get them to eat since they feed mostly on toads and such in the wild.
