Ahaha! Ohh that is too funny. The squid piece I bought didn't come with a tentacle (disappointing), and I cut it into tiny tiny pieces since Lola is a tiny girl :) but that really must have been something to see!

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

hey when you guys feed things like scallop do you just thaw a raw scallop and toss it in??? also goes for shrimp. i was gonna get a ring of shrimp and see if my puffers will eat it. if i just buy raw unseasoned i can pretty much feed them most seafoods within reason correct??? (sorry if this is a hijack)

Yep, that's how it's done. :) Usually you need to freeze it really well first, though, to kill off any potential nasties. But those shrimp rings (with the cocktail sauce in the middle?) are cooked.

Once they get the good stuff they don't want the rest. lol Annabelle will go on a hunger strike when she wants crab. If the local grocery store ever stops selling crab I would be in big trouble. :lol:
