Indian Scops Owl Mouse Massacare (warning - not for the squeemish)

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU COMMENT

Here's an upload of our cute little Indian Scops Owl enjoying her dinner. She's fed on half a mouse, once a day......... this is the "not so cute" side of keeping an owl.

Please don't watch if your easily offended by animal blood and guts. She's a Carnivore and this is completely natural.

The mice she eats are frozen mice, defrosted an hour or two before she gets them

thanks for watching - give me shout if you have any questions (OvO)

Does it usually take her this long to eat? cause it looks like youve been trying to feed her for a while xD or was she just distracted by the camera and trying to look "Lady-like" LOL

[Mykidrm]

@dreyaleesings it usually takes her about 20 minutes to eat her meal, but yes I think she was camera shy

Why not live mice? Would be more natural for the owl, more appealing as well. Unless of course you're prohibited by law.

[Mykidrm]

@CKelaiditis A few reasons really, don't have to keep a colony of breeding mice to feed to her, She's not kept in a mouse proof avairy or cage so the mouse would easily escape and I don't want mice running around everywhere. Live food can easy hurt the owl...... It happened with my Hawk when she went for a live rabbit and finished her flying season early. I can gut the mouse while frozen and take out the bits that's no good for her. Cleaner, easier, cheaper. Why feed live when you don't have to?

[CKelaiditis]

@Mykidrm Ouch, sorry for your hawk and I hope she recovered fast. As for the reasons you don't use live feeders, fair enough ;) I see your point and I agree.

@Mykidrm plz more vidz of Cutch, and don't worry I'm carnivore too! (but I don't eat mouse)...

1) Is it clean? or she makes pellet and pee throughout the house?

2) Is what it is affectionate?

3) Do you let her fly free ? can you let a window opens ?

4) Do you have a owl nest box ?

5) what does she the day/night ?

6) Do you give some foods on the table ?

7) did she fear of humans she does not know?

8) Is it hisses?

9) can we listen to music with an owl? or is that their ears are too sensitive?

Ah that answerd my feeding question xD.

Watching a cute owl grind up a gory mouse is still cute, especially when they feed their young heh heh

[TheSuperS0ldier]

That owl is Rock n' Roll xD \m/ awesome, i think its nice u are giving her a mouse with fur and everything on, it must feel more natural for her to eat :D
