Thought I'd have learned when this happened with our corn, but no Zazu struck while my wife was bringing her food over to the rub and I was putting her in. lol
dam well wouldn't let go of me to eat her food, we eventually had to pries her gently off as I think she could feel my warmth and heart beat through my thumb and was assuming ratty was still alive...

Bless her! Little gannet LOL - and I believe this one was a bit slow to start eating? Looks like she's got the 'hang' of it now!
One of my corns did this - her feeding routine is a bit weird because she's only got one eye (hatched that way) and though you'd think she'd make up for it scentwise ...no. She went off her food for a little bit - until I learned that she liked to feed in-viv with the the light on, so that she could see with her one eye! The last time she pretended to be a royal, cruising round, cuddling up and so on, until (against the rules, I know) I picked her up and said, 'look, there's the mousey!' 'Oh,' she said, 'right, the mousey- why didn't you say before!' And, still hanging on to my hand, her jaws opened and she grabbed and ate ... who cares, as long as they eat? |

It's just come to mind - and I can't vouch for how realistic this is - that during my reading about royals, someone said that they feel more comfortable during feeding if they have their tail wrapped about some object ...
Food for thought? |

| when bullet takes his food funny sometimes i have to move him, and needless to say the tail comes rite out and raps me, then he eats sometimes, and i think he sometimes prefers it like this, i just hate the last bit of the mouse going into his mouth and the look he gives u, "i am guna get your hand now hehe" little bugger |
