your a dumbass did you know its inhumane to feed a animal to another animal. you can feed a pet mouse anything like seeds peanut butter etc y would you go out of your way to get a mouse and feed it to your own mouse. your fully fucked in the head
@N4B4EVER The mouse was fed to a Brazilian short tailed opossum. This is *not* a mouse eating another mouse... it is a marsupial eating a rodent. Natural food for the Brazilian short tailed opossum... do some research before you speak of things you don't know and sound stupid.
Hi Earthling. I have a wonderful little male STO named Snoopy. He's about 6 mos. old and one of the best pets I've ver had ( I have exotics). Wondering if you've experienced marked differences in personality between your female STOs and your males?
@AthenaOfArgos I've had very sweet females and males... in fact every STO I've owned has been very sweet and the males/females seemd about equal in their temperment.
this is my first time seeing this can someone explain what kind of a cannabilistic freaking creatur that is??? ive actually never seen anything like this a mouse eating another??? WHAT IS THIS
@masterofuselessness This is a Brazilian Short Tailed Opossum (STO) eating a mouse. STO's are marsupials, not rodents like mice. Yes, they are of similar size and look similar to the untrained eye, but they are very different creatures.
the ONLY thing sad about this video is that im pretty sure that was a pregnant female mouse being eaten, otherwise, ive seen 3 vids of Lucy, and i already want my own now lol
@cidreno60 Thanks much for your comment! Lucy actually never was a mom; the mom in that video is a different STO have. I did own Lucy's parents though, and lucy was born in my house and raised very well. She was a great STO, but she did pass away a few months ago :(
@earthling1984 Sorry to hear about Lucy. She was clearly a winner. I hope she lived the full complement of STO years (4--is that right?) Are there just three or so videos of Lucy in the Lucy Series? If there are more, I'll look them up.
@cidreno60 She was great. she lived a little past 4 years old. 4 years is about the oldest they usually get. There are a few videos with lucy in them, but I can't remember all of them.
That's the way things go idiot... Before humans were so "domosticated" and most of us actually had to hunt for our food, we killed animals and ate them. Only difference is our stomachs are notthe same. We had to cook them. STO's don't need to cook there meat... And aboutthe way it kills it, do you expect them to have freaking spears or guns or something? No it uses what it has. So like I said deal with it or GTFO.
I'm sorry...but you talk about natural. Is that cage natural? Or the safe warm home with a constant food source? In nature you're cute little STO might already be fed to something. Are you going to do that to keep it's life 'natural'. Anyway, cute STO. Poor video and very poor explination for letting another animal suffer. Feed 'em f/t, natural food source, no chance of your STO getting harmed/infected with parasites and no letting another animal suffer needlessly.
@Heartlessmusic666 The food I feed them is as natural as I can mimic in a captive environment. If you kept a tiger, would you feed it only dog food? I agree cages aren't natural, but all we can do as pet owners is try to give them as natural a life as possible.
hey i have a question please correct me if im wrong do you have to clean the cage after u feed it the mouse cuz wouldn't there be blood i dont know but im just asking
Dude...stfu there's like 1000000000000 mice in the world if a STO eats 1 then it keeps things in balance and it makes the animal happier n keeps them healthy it's jus like wen a lion eats a zebra so if u don like it don watch it...gosh the human race can rly piss me off sometimes...but nice vid lucy will b missed
@127super yeah, they can crack the mouses skull. Lucy never really did that, she usually went for the neck and strangled them.... but most of the larger STO's(Lucy is a runt).. most of the larger STO's just bit down on the head and cracked the skull. They have powerful jaws for their size.
@Bloodyearlysunsets You're cool. So it would be okay to feed her bland pellets in a bowl that barely sustain her because thats more humane to you? She would less healthy and much less happy. Thats like feeding your dog tofu. They need meat in their systems, it's their nature. You're going to deny her what she would eat in the wild simply because she is in captivity? How stupid.
@LoAfXD dogs have been domesticated over hundreds of years. And there is much quality dog 'pellet' food on the market. STO's have not been domesticated and there is not good pellet food on the market for them.
You do not need to feed your STO mice. They don't NEED them if they are in captivity. If you insist on wasting the life of a precious creature, then don't put it on YouTube. Also, that's not what the pet stores call a "feeder" mouse. It's a fancy one, meant to be a pet. You're a fucking idiot.
@Bloodyearlysunsets just because it has colors on it, doesn't make it a 'pet' mouse... wow.. you are 12 years old I guess... And I know at 12 years old I would have the same feelings as you, but mice are mice, and they are fed to other animals, that is the life cycle, if it upsets you, please do not watch. Thanks.
@earthling1984 I'm fifteen and I don't care if supplies nutriants for her. She won't die without them or else there'd be a lot less STOs in captivity. -____- I'm fifteen, btw. Mice are equal to any other animal in a way. No animal is better than them.
@Bloodyearlysunsets uhm your completely wrong. this is how the food chain works with these animals. cat < opossum. opossum < mouse. mouse < bug. this is how life works my friend. mouse is on the lower end of the food chain which means it gets eaten by opossum.
wow it is so crazy i didnt know what a STO was till now and still dont have the whole idea lol. i never thought a mousey like thing ate mouseys lol. it is kind of cruel the way it killed it since my snakes killer faster. but i mean it is very natural and its called food chain people.
btw a quick question what do you feed your pregnant mice? cuz mine got pregnant but did not produce any milk
I know you are reading this scumbag. You put a different value on different animals lives and you have the balls to call your animals pets. Do you like watching animals suffer and die? Reminds me of how I can put a different value on peoples lives, know what I mean prick.
I breed mice because many of my pets eat mice. Buying mice is very expensive(over time), whereas breeding them is much cheaper. Do I enjoy watching living things suffer and die... of course not... but do I like to provide my pets with the most natural food, of couse so.
I finally see why you are breeding mice. Do you consider yourself a pet lover? Why do you even have these animals? Looks like you really get off watching those mice suffer being hunted down and eaten alive. I guess the lives of certain animals mean less to you than the lives of other animals. You sad excuse for a human being. I'd love to meet with you. I'm pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
They do make great pets. They don't NEED live mice to live. But I do recommend feeding a good variety of diet. A good mix of of dry food should always be available. Then items such as live crickets, pinkie mice(live or frozen), fruits, veggies, mealworms, etc.
i have mice for just secondary pets and i dont plan to feed it to any animal but i think watching mice feeding is cool but at the same time i feel bad but not like some people who are like mouse obsessed like "thats not cool why are you doing that" and my sister has a male beardie that is a purebred red hypo and i plan to get a female beardie that has all the red genes in it and we are going to breed them so the red will become a stronger red its going to be cool.
Because it is healthy for the STO. As with all my animals, I like to provide a wide variety of food so they have the best possible nutrition. STO's are said to live only up to 4 years in captivity... Lucy is 4 years old now about, and still looks super strong and healthy. I credit this to giving her the most natural food I can. The 'Hunt' is something they love, you can tell when they first see the mouse! They may be small animals, but they are ferocious predators also. (omnivores really)
I don't like to see it but I understand it. Lucy really is a fully intact wild animal by the I mean all her killer instincts are still there and why not allow her to use them.
and actually. I responded before re-looking at the vid. My other videos of Lucy/Bighead eating mice is adults... This video it is actually a hopper, not an adult.
I fed adults as she can take them down, and to show people how strong these little STO's are. They are real hunters. Usually I feed her pinkies/hoppers. But adults she has taken down adults for years, and eats the whole thing overnight... bones, fur, everything.
agreed. I understand their comments, I am an animal lover too; however, if you plan to keep an exotic pet(or any pet that eats live food in nature), then you better be able to fulfill the responsibility and feeding requirements of the species.
Yea. Lucy is a runt, she goes for the throat to strangle them. All my other STO's that I have fed mice to have been larger, and usually they just bite down on the head hard and crack the skull in one bite.
yummy yummy in his tummy but i'm an animal lover i think its cruel in a way but i push aside that because i've seen it live and i agree with you they need to live life more natural
I am an animal lover too. And I admit I do cringe sometimes at the sight of the feedings; however, that is a natural part of STO and mice life. I breed mice myself, and they get 5 star lodging until their time comes.
An animal lover would also give their pets the best possible, most natural environment and food they can. Mice in nature are often prey. They die in nature by their attackers, and that is just how it happens when my STO's eat live mice. Pre-killed mice are also killed you know - often times just being thrown in bags then into a freezer... and that is better for them?
your a dumbass did you know its inhumane to feed a animal to another animal. you can feed a pet mouse anything like seeds peanut butter etc y would you go out of your way to get a mouse and feed it to your own mouse. your fully fucked in the head
