Hi everyone. Been away for a while.

My royal has been trying to eat a rat fluff backwards unsuccessfully for about 20 mins. Its back legs are "ten to two" and he can't get his mouth around. Should I take it off him or leave him to figure it out on his own?

Cheers

Lee

My boa spent quite a while trying to eat a rat *sideways* the other day! Eventually she dropped it and tried again from the head end.

Ha ha, yeah it does. I posted one in the photo section last time (under Richard parker update)

I'm house/dog sitting at the minute Matt but when I get back i'll take you up on your offer to chat about your pastel.
Thanks

Its ok until they get to larger items where the legs don't fold very well!

one of my royals has done that a couple of times, but he always manages to eat it, so dont worry...they are quite adept at coping with the backwards feeding i think ..lol

Yeah that was what I thought too but just wanted to check he wouldn't do any damage trying to force it in. Thanks again.

Thanks GP. By the time I booted up computer and typed message he'd only gone and bloody eaten it. Thanks anyway
