Can't believe i went and got my 3rd royal today, only thing is he/she is a young none feeder . think the best thing to do would be start has i mean to go on so will try rat pups which my first one did not like at all and still won't go near a rat just large mouse. my second snake (tess) is the other way round loves rats but hates mouse. will get pictures up of all 3 soon has

Congrats! You've got the addiction!

Will your new one assist-feed? And yes, starting with rat pups would be my idea too. If you can gently wiggle the prey between the snake's lips it will often open its mouth and then grab and coil by itself and take the food down. A few feeds like this and it may get the idea to feed by itself.

All the best with the new one!
