I will have had Ripley a week tomorrow and he'll be turning 8 weeks old. The first time I handled him at the shop he was quite inquisitive, but once I got him home he was obviously a bit overwhelmed and curled himself up into a ball (awww).
I had him out last night, only for about 2 minutes and he was mostly just sat in a ball with his head in a strike pose! But he did better this evening... flicking his tongue lots, looking around and moving a tiny bit. He did keep his neck in a tight 'S' for most of the time, but I'm sure he'll get used to me soon  . Here are some photos of him that I took this evening...

I'm sure he's grown already, though I suppose it might just be wishful thinking!
It's feeding time a bit later, so hopefully I can get some more photos! If you're not too bored that is.  |

| He had 2 mouse fluffs 5 days ago and 2 mouse fluffs again this evening. I only have 1 fluff left after that... and 5 small mice. One of the small mice is smaller than the other 4, which I'll feed with the remaining fluff in another 5 days. The smallest rats available were weaners, which were absolutely HUGE. There are 3 different places round here which sell frozen food, I do fully intend on checking the other 2 places to find some ratties for him. |

Knowing my luck the shop I went to is probably the only one that *doesn't* sell rat fluffs! I'll have to check around. After that thread started by lee2308 about his two boys Monty and Floyd I need to get me some rats... I want to Ripley to grow big and chunky on the ratty goodness like Monty has.  |

Thanks! 
I got some rat fluffs today, found some in the shop that I bought him from... don't know why I didn't check there first to be honest. They were only 49p each and I have a loyalty card so I get 10% off frozen and livefood  . It's such a nice little shop (Planet Reptile in Swindon's Old Town), I don't think I'll bother to go anywhere else now I've seen the inside of their freezer lol. Lots of variety. |
