Hi all, just acquired my first royal on Saturday, she is 6 months old and 157grams, is that about right???? Anyway, the reason for posting is she was due a feed on saturday, (the day i got her), and i was defrosting for the others, so thought i would try anyway, but she refused, and i thought i would try her again in a few days time, but she again refused last night, when should i try again, i was told she was on medium mice or rat pups, i have tried both on the different feeds. Many thanks in advance!! |

| Hello and welcome to the forum. 157g dosnt seem too bad. My Floyd is around 8/9 months and he weighs 256. And smee is around 7 months I think and he is 209g. Once they start gobbling on rats their weight goes up loads. I think my girlfriends royal after switching from mice to rats put on around 80g in a month! Personally I'd leave her until the weekend at least, won't do her any harm to go a few more days, getting used to her new surroundings at the same time. Once again, welcome to the forum :) |

| Hi and welcome. Do check with the seller what feeding schedule they had in place, they should know if it was a regular or troublesome feeder. But as above, let her settle in for a while before you start to panik |
