put her in the rub/box then warm the rat up with a hair dryer getting the head nice a warm then offer with tongs or holding the rats tail.
she may eat in the rub or she may not, my little one frank used to strike feed in a rub but now only eats in the viv
i leave the rat in there on a cloth an he takes it later on well he did hes now fasting |

Great pics of Derek, he is a fine Royal :)
lol and i'm glad Slinky isn't the only one that takes near an hour to eat, and that's a small mouse. I reckon use the last 4 smalls and move on to mediums :) |

yes some can get addicted to mice plus its much easier to feed 1 big rat to an adult than 3 mice.
good luck with the feed |
