Congratulations. Did you just drop it in or did you leave it in a particular place on purpose?

In the shop I got her from they always feed out of the viv so I tried it that way but I guess she's happier in her home and that's fine with me as long as she eats :-)

I wish 2 of mine would eat. Boris and Ria haven't eaten since October. Ive tried different ways of defrosting/heating etc, tried smaller rats and last week I completely gutted their vivs and washed/replaced everything trying to make them feel they were in a new burrow. Still nothing. At least Sas is eating. I even tried putting them in together so they could have a little snake porn on the advice of local shop. She wasn't having any of it and shot up the back of her viv and hung in the wires!

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