Dogs are always amusing. They even play with live catches before they eat them.
My 2 dalmatians toss small frogs and gechos in the air several times before
eating them. (-:

Well I actually tossed it.  It has a hard shell and landed on grass. No
worse than Monday Night Football....

I suppose a fsh would bite on them.  I uesd to have hermit crabs in my
salwater aquarium, that I caught in the wild.  The problem is, one has to
provide larger shells, because as they grow, they switch shells. One of
them tried on a few. That was kinda interesting to watch.
