Okay, Juju hasnt eaten since November so I am now gonna try some different prey items because he shows absolutely no interest in rats or mice. Im gonna avoid chicks for now because I dont want him to get a taste for them. I want to stick to rodents, so my question is: from your experience what have you had more success with, gerbils or multimammates?

Cheers, Jonny

I have heard that royals have a soft spot for multimates , however my royal only ate last week since last November and showed no interest in anything what so ever, the longest he went without eating was from October through to June. So there is hope for you yet :)
