                       ok, I was trying to feed amber a rat yestoday, no luck (don't forget she is a little midget lol) and It started getting me annoyed.
  So, I was speaking to Don and he said to try her with a mouse, (you know where this is going now don't you?) so I did and guess what...
  She eats it. The problem with this is that I wanted to keep them all on Rats. I guess she can stay on mice until I beef her up a little lol.
  Good job ratchet and clank aren't so fussy...
  (I am hoping to get a video of ratchet striking soon, one nasty striker!)
  So, Who else hates how awkward royals can get? |

                       Congrats on the feeding  Mice are ok when there small  Switching can go either way  Some convert easy some need tricking with a mouse defrosted with the rat/rubbed on the rat 
 
  I'll second that with awkward royals  I have a little pastel/lesser thats well scared of the rat when I dangle it  He will strike but it's a bloody job to get him to |

                       I got a 1200gram mojo  That was just fine on rats  Till she decided to fast for 3 months  So I had a "bright" idea I'll just try one xl mouse to start her off  Yea it's started her of alright lol Now the bloody thing won't feed on rats :( lol 
  So my rule from now on is if they fast  I'll let them stay fasting  till they will go for the rat

                      |  My Sas wont strike. Just sits there looking at it flicking his tongue! Ive tried dangling it, moving it along the floor, nothing. So I lay it over his log and he sniffs it then casually takes it. Yesterday he did drag it really quickly into his hide. Awkward git! |

                       oo, I'm a yearling now :) and yeah, clank used to make me leave it with him and then after 2 or 3 feeds, he started striking for it ;) Strange though as Amber's strike is better than clanks and clank is more than double in size lol.
  I think I may weigh them all today. See how there all going :) |

  Agreed. My lot will eat whatever...live, dead, rat, mouse(or 3). Not a fussy bunch. |
