Hi Daz,
That's all been sorted now. I said earlier that I thought the shop were wrong when they said that pinkies is what he needed.
I have only a few left so we're going 2 at a time until they are gone.
I tried to get some rat pups for when they finish but they couldn't find them?!?!?!? So they did me 5 large mice for for a cheap

A hatchling royal can take a medium mouse as a first feed, so mice pinkys are a very small meal for him. I would also swap straight on to rat pups... |

Second feed done now!! (Yay). Thursday afternoon took two mice after several over eager strikes and misses at the first one which he managed to throw in to his hide!!!! I couldn't get it back as he was in feeding mode and everything warm was a target. Got the second one no problems, then about 5minsb later found the other one and ate that.
Went out that night and came back to find him all wrinkley and shedding on his head (found a piece of skin with eye caps) no change yesterday but got up for work this morning and found two large pieces of skin in amongst the plant!!!! (Yay) will check tonite to make sure it all came off, but so far so good.
Oh and the size of the poo yesterday!!!!! Good Grief! How does one so small produce so much?!?!?!?!?
1st feed
2nd one

It's always such a relief when they take their first meal, I've had mine nearly 4 weeks now and she is feeding regularly, you do get anxious though when you read about them being fickle feeders so it's always good to see the first feed happen and then to be reassured with the next feed :)she's really putting weight on now :) |

Thanks for the thoughts,
I did think that they seemed a bit small (but 10yrs out of the game appears to have clouded my judgement!)
BE. They are mouse pinkies. Would it be worth seeing if he'll take 2? Or just bin them and get some rat pups?

Good news with the feed. Does look a bit small, looks like it could have slid straight down. |

Glad to see him eating, but as above, just looks like a light snack, what is it? A mouse pinky or a very small rat pup? |

I did think that, but the guy in the shop said that was plenty!?!?!? (respectful shop from the DS) No names no pack drill (at this time)
But I will feed 2 at a time until they are gone (do you think?) |

good news,looks like it could take a bigger meal from the pics or it could just be the angle |
