One possibly relevant observation from HSB and LMB pellet feeding: When dealing with small pellets they greatly prefer to swallow multiples. BG, even the largest, are okay slurping down a single 1/4 inch pellet, but not the big boys. Pellet groups of 3 or more floating together are much more attractive for large predators!
This behavior may carry over toward GAM and FHM, thus making the energy costs of consumption less onerous than usually assumed.
