Hi just a question about how long a royal can go without drinking,I have a male royal who haven't eating since Xmas day so I haven't had any poo for a while but just checked through my notes and just noticed that he not done any pee either since jan 4th is this normal? Any advice would be great thanks.

When they fast they slow right down becoming very inactive. For a few years now i have kept all mine in rubs on paper and have little to no signs of them having a wee when they are like this, so assume they drink very little.

Royals owned "lots"

I have seen both my boys drinking but never my girl. They all have the largest size dog bowl and Sas has twice managed to tip it up and completely soak his viv! I think he falls from the light cable which he hangs from at least once a day! I did have it pinned to the roof but he just pulls them out!

Royals - Sas, Boris & Ria
Boas - 1 called Titch until we can think of a name for her!
Cats - Felix, Becky, Max & Willow
