You say that they would
rather eat something smaller and
usually eat once per week.
I agree that they would rather eat something smaller but that doesn't mean they always eat something smaller. And how do you know when they have last eaten? Can you tell how hungry they are by looking at them?
And if someone is using common sense, I don't recommend kayaking down a narrow river with numerous alligators in the water!
