Once you have gotten fairly good at catching insects, it is time for you to start hunting real prey. In this section we are going to talk about the easier types of prey.
There may be one of these animals in your territory. It usually lives
in a glass cage and spends its nights running around in a wire wheel.
The hardest part of catching this animal is getting it out of its
cage. For some reason, the humans will not cooperate with your
attempts.
If you can liberate the beast, it will be fairly easy to catch. Be
careful to grab it by the neck as they do bite.
This creature, a "mouse" makes great eating if you can catch it.
Actually, the trick to catching mice is to find them, then to lie
very still until the mouse gets close enough to grab with a pounce.
Mice don't fight back, but they can scurry along very
fast.
Mice have a habit of playing dead when you catch them. They will lie
very still until your back is turned, then run away ! Never trust a
mouse to be completely dead until it is eaten !
Other small, tasty and easy prey include moles ( if you catch one
above ground ) and baby rats.
