They are tring to censor this but enough has come through so that it is clear what is happening.

I thought Arnold was a member of dozens of animal rights groups.

They don't let lizards in vegan restaurants.

Beards are omnivore's, they have to have a combination of veg's and animal protein to survive. They do make special food for them, however the best source of animal protein is still animals, such as crickets, meal worms and since those beards are still so small if they are feeding them mice they would have to be pinkies or new born's with no fur. You can get them pre-killed and frozen which is what I suspect they would be doing.

I wish those lizards liked to eat hamsters..

Would you prefer that the lizards be malnourished?

Sorry, I don't understand the basis of the protest to feeding mice (natural prey) to the lizards thier natural predator. The mice are being killed for a purpose better known as the circle of life, not merely for parts or material goods. No reason for a revolt.

Yeah would have to be pinkies.. well I suppose they might be able to wolf down a pinkie hamster, earthmother :)

Heck I used to have fish that adored mealworms and would eat pretty much anything that wiggled and the

Prehistoric Pets down the street has the HUGE catfish and they will eat mice!!

I agree. It's the circle of life, but, I am sure they were fetal mice. Some people would freak over mice babies being fed to the dragons. Of course, they'd probably be objecting while they were scarfing down their Big Macs. lol

Hey, Arnie's third twist? Tell the hamsters that if they throw any more HOH/POV comps they risk being the lizards' next meal? Hmmmmmm.....:)

Me too! Well, not *all* the hamsters. (Most of them though.)

Don't have live feeds - I really thought you all were just kidding. Uugh!!

But the pinkies that are sold for reptiles to eat are bred and raised for that purpose, just as cattle and sheep and pigs and soy beans are raised for carnivores and omnivores to eat.

Not to mention folks that have dogs, cats, fish, etc.... I'm sure none of THAT pet food has ANY animal products (or by-products) in it right??? RIGHT....LOL :)

So do vegans or those who are against animal cruelty not have pets? And if they have pets do they feed them lettuce only??? Just wondering... (And who's out there protecting lettuce's rights??? :))

And another thing, why no posts like this when the houseguests ate ham (from a pig that had to be killed), fish (from, obviously, a fish that had to be killed), or beef (from a cow that, alas, had to be killed as well)??? Just wondering about that also...

Edited to add: And if the lizards weren't being fed properly causing them to be malnourished and die...who would accuse AS of the mistreatment of animals because they weren't fed food they needed?

(This post is not meant to be inflammatory, just opinionated and for fun...and hopefully it brings up a couple of points.)

Oh, Bbtimes, I agree with you. There's nothing to protest here: the lizards have to eat, too. I donated some of my baby mice to my vet for snake-food. His wife would euthanize them and then freeze them for future meals for their pets. What always struck me funny was that she'd protest if I told her the names of the mice. She said it made it harder to dispose of them. See, nobody's totally heartless. *Unless you count Roddy*

I say good, give them a double helping, one less rodent in the world is fine by me.

Don't anyone get sentimental about rodents----ugh! I just killed a rat in my studio which laid t*rds as big as raisins. It was eating my paints, my pastels, candles, drawings, brushes, everything. I would have stabbed it with my Exacto knife if I could have caught it. As far as I am concerned, rats are only good as feed for something higher up the food chain.

Maybe BB should have bought the HG's a salt water fishtank instead of the lizards....

Am I wrong to wish they had a kitty? It would be so fun to watch the kitty at night as it got up and had 'night crazies' all around the BB house while everyone else was sleeping.

Maybe they could have a competition between the HGs who became most attached to see who got to adopt it at the end of the show? If no HGs wanted it, they should have someone else lined up to adopt it instead. Of course, they couldn't cast any 'Justins', I'd be very afraid of what he'd do to an animal.

Sorry, but I love cats. I always wonder what my cat it up to when I sleep. Two nights ago we found a dead bat inside the house, clearly killed by my cat. Imagine getting to see that on tape!!

Cmc209, I would hate to see what would happen to a saltwater tank. They require attention and everyone in the house is too busy plotting.

A cat would be nice. I love cats, too. If it got sick of these boring HG people, it could hop the fence and look for someplace better to live. And keep the bats down at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with feeding mice to a bearded dragon. Like many here have said, they need to eat as well! I seriously don't think PETA would do anything since the HG's aren't being cruel to an animal, they are just feeding them!
I HAVE to resond to Catfat. Obviously, you don't know much about rats. They make EXELLENT pets. I get very sentimental over rats. They are extremely smart animals. You can litter train them as well as train them to do tricks (just like dogs)! Don't get me wrong. I think there is a difference between wild rats and pet rats. Wild rats can be annoying as heck. They get into everything and destroy what they can. But, please don't group all rats in the same catagory. I have some that even you would probably find sweet and adorable :)

They were saying yesterday that the mice were alive...just wondering if there is a reason they would feed them live vs dead mice?

There is a possiblilty that they won't eat pre-killed prey. One of my snakes won't touch something that is dead. Many lizards like the thrill of the hunt. I know that's how one of my snakes are. Also, if I remember corretly, live prey are more nutrious that pre-killed. And, personally, I would rather feed live mice than frozen just because the way they freeze them is so mean. Some of the frozen mice you buy at pet stores were frozen alive. Personally, if I was a mouse, I would much rather be given a somewhat good life and die quickly rather than freezing to death.

Gina, a cat in HEAT would be fun to watch the hamsters try and deal with at night! That would interrupt their sleep a bit. A big, loud, yowly Siamese cat woul be lots of fun for us to watch. A cat would give them a way of calming down and cooling off sometimes. A cat would be a wonderful thing to put into the BB house, but I've read that AS tries to keep them hamsters on-edge (feng shui article refers to this, e.g.), so I doubt they'd do anything so nice for the houseguests.
