if a meal is too small for a royal would they bother wasting the energy?? mine eats like one every 2-3 weeks maybe even 4 weeks, he is 925g and should be on small rats but i tryin to use up my weiner rats (average 65g) as brought in bulk, as it prob a small meal will they still go for it? he just dont seem interested!! last 2 weeks i thought cause he was blue then shed so thought he would go for ir tonight but was more interested in coming out and exploring!! little sod ;-s

Blitz nevermind he eats every hamster come in his way, small .. big .. whatever lol ... as Rob said, they see them as food without measuring them.

I've been told that they'd eat a smaller meal cause its "easy prey" I dunno how true this is though... My royal wont touch a rat unless its completely white...

think he just fussy as he eats when he wants that is his only pattern lol

I have two royals around the 800 / 1kg and they are happy eating a 50/70g rat every 6 days. So I can see no reason why yours should refuse a 65g, unless of course he is just fussy. Some royals wont touch a rat with a speck of black

Snakes are opportunistic, they dont understand your feeding schedule they dont know when the next meal is coming so I wouldn't think they'd turn their noses up at a small meal because they dont measure them they just see food and eat it.
