Hey all,

I'm a happy bunny right now! Our little Royal (still un-named) just took his first feed with us. We've only had him since Sunday so I wasn't sure how well it would go, but he took his rat pup like a dream!
He managed to land in his water bowl after striking and constricted and ate the whole thing in there! LOL! He didn't mind us watching at all and seemed very chilled and secure.

I'm so, so pleased!

Sorry I know I'm silly! Just had to share! LOL

Yeah me too lol given the reputation of royals for being picky feeders it's always a good feeling when you offer the food item and they hit it like a ton of bricks cuase I don't know about anyone else but I always find myself wondering if this is the feed they refuse....

Thanks Guys! I'm still really made up! Called Hubby and told him (he's away with work at the mo) and he asked if I'd filmed it...um...nope! Maybe I will next time?

Yep I think I'm always gonna be a little worried about refused feeds, but I won't let it spoil things for the mo! LOL
