Posted - 25/07/2012 : 15:43:26 Juju has turned down his food for the first time ever!! He normally always strikes it (missing most of the time) and even eats in the blue, but last night he just wasnt interested. Knowing what Royals are like I am not concerned, although it is a bit annoying because I thought I was onto a winner.
So my question is, has anyone got a royal that hasnt missed a feed, or are they all a bit rubbish every now and then? lol. |

Now, here's the interesting part. That same royal had to be assist-fed for 3 months after she was born because she refused to eat. We didn't think she would survive. Once she struck on her own, she has not missed a feed since! Even when blue. |

Posted - 26/07/2012 : 17:04:26 Mine has never missed a feed before, he is a year and a half now. He normally pounces straight for the rat, occasionally missing with a couple of eager strikes but gets it eventually. Then the other day nothing, just totally uninterested. It is weird how they just stop like that. |

Posted - 25/07/2012 : 21:16:12 I've only got one Royal who has never missed a feed. My 11 month old 'normal'. He has the most amazing feeding response and would probably eat every day if I'd let him! lol |

Posted - 25/07/2012 : 16:14:09 My pin eats like a pig every week :) Might not eat for a week here and there.But has never stopped eating for months on end.
Will strike feed all the time,when he don't seem interested i leave the rat in the rub.And he eats it like that.Or i leave the rat in the rub,hold/rest his head on the side of the feeding rub.And he slides in and eats it.
I have more problems with my corn not eating for months each year,then anything else. |
