Hey, was wondering if there is anything wrong with Spidey?
Her last 3 meals, she has struck at, constricted, and left it.
Today's meal i blamed myself, as when she constricted it, the rats
side busted :s, so i lifted her and put her in a plastic tub.
Me just being pernickidey again :D
Thanks, Matt. |

| Cleopatra has been doing the same for a few months now really starting to irritate me, thinking I might drop the meal size and see if she handles it better she seems to just attempt it, not find the head and give up. |

| Just drop feed and disappear for a bit, its probably just been put off taking the time to eat it as they are hugely vulnerable while swallowing something in their mind anyway. |

| Just royals - long as they don't lose too much weight (10/15%) no need to worry. My 2 girls have been fasting for yonks (with a little snacking) but what a pair of tubs, bless them. They ain't going to starve soon! |

| i had this problem with coreys first feed so on the second one i let him strike then constrict but i kept hold of the mouse and gave him abit of resistance so he thinks its putting up a fight he constricted and touck it straight down ive done the same today and no problems give that a try if you dont do it already.if not do what the other guys say and change the size of the prey. |
