That's just nasty. Anybody ever encounter one of these bad boys? What kind of damage can something like that inflict???
Don't know, but fresh beef liver is lke a blood sponge and easily obtained from a butcher, so it seems likely that it would provide them with what they want. They live in water and wet places so they probably feed on fish so maybe a live fingerling bait fish. Mice could fight back and hurt the leech.Malkavian said:Is that how you feed those? With organ meat thats likely to still have some blood in it?
I had this mental image of giving an eight inch leech a little mouse to slurp on
I think you can order Hirudo medicinalis at your local pharmacy, it is at least worth a try.ghost_tomb said:anyone know where i can get a leech in the uk and are they active in their tank??
