I'm really chuffed.

Have had to help Nelson feed the last 2 times, just thought same again, but I waved the rat pup around abit, he shyed away from it then struck and coiled and now the rats gone.

Hope this is the start of him self feeding, as I don'twant to stress him too much by assisting him.

Congrats on the strike! They are superfast, aren't they? First time Bruce took from the tongs I barely had time to let go before he was curled round it and drowning it in his water bowl!

I did get a shock much quicker than my corn, plus wasn't really expecting him to feed because of the last 2 attemps, hopefully on the road to healthy royal now..

No strike yesterday so I left them in RUB and they're still there this morning, the struggle goes on, I didn't want to assist him again, the stress and all. So we'll give it a few days and try again. He has gained 11g (up from 52g) in 2 and abit weeks so we're heading the right way.
