Well slash is in blue mode, but thought I would try him with a rat anyway, he struck & constricted then sniffed both ends before munching the rat down backwards, seemed to struggle very slightly with the back legs, but all down event free!
Bless him. |

Yes, I use a hair-drier personally. |

Cleo's did that in the past few feeds, so do you just heat up the head slightly more than the rest ?  x |

Royals hunt and strike as much at heat as anything else as their eyesight isn't great, so I always superheat the head with a hair drier so that they can 'see' it better. |

my royal has done that a few times, it is so i am told something to do with the warmest parts of the rat you offer...
but its kind of funny watching them trying to get the rat in.. |
