| Another 5 days, but do you mean a mouse pinky? - If so it may be so small that she does doesn't even see it as food, try a Rat Pup or Small Mouse. |

A small mouse should be fine - and don't worry if he doesn't feed straightaway. He's settling in anyway  |

HI Blackecho is right, even as a first feed they can take rat pups..and they are better for them than fuzzies.
but wait another five days.
How many feeds did your royal take before you got him? |
