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

Aww a meal is a meal, as with Royals its upto them what we do for them, if they had hands they would be forever clicking their fingers at us giving instruction.

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!

Royals - Sas, Boris & Ria
Boas - 1 called Titch until we can think of a name for her!

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.
