Congrats, sounds like they are slightly small for her if she is taking them the wrong way around, not that its a problem though.

Congrats on the feed, as above though, mouse fluffs are too small for a Royal, try a small mouse or even better a rat pup.

My girl regularly took her mice backwards but always managed to get them down in the end. Now she's on rats and has so far, taken them the right way.

I wouldnt give her any more, go straight to rats its easier in the long run. My 1st royal always needs a mouse followed by a rat because i started her on mice (didnt know anything different) all my others are rats only much easier and cheeper.
