When your royals refuse a feed...
When your royals refuse a feed, how do they react?
Because my royal never used to show any interest when he'd refuse a feed. He'd eaten about 15 rats once a week and stopped about a month ago. Now when I offer him a rat, he looks really interested and reacts in exactly the same way as he does when he accepts the rat. Really inquisitive, comes out of his hide when he smells it, but just doesn't strike.

Mine either just completly ignore the food item, or constrict it, then leave it. Do you really mean your Royal ate 15 rats in a week, or am i reading that wring??

MIne has refused the past couple of times, she shows interest but doesn't strike it or anything, not worried as she's fed every week for the past 18 months and more than doubled her weight.

It's good to know that some people's royals act inquisitive but still don't strike. I guess it's no use asking questions like this though as they're animals and not machines so are all different!

Haha!!!...Had me worried there!!! A rat a week sounds A-OK to me, dont worry he"ll go back on when he"s ready. If he"s past two years old its kinda normal anyways, as the Royal breeding season starts around now. Dont worry.

Royals in my opinon are the most frustrating feeders i have encounterd, today i could of happily gave my female away, she struck, constricted it then dropped it four times, grabbed my jacket once and my jeans leg once
 Then finally after two hours she ate the mangled gerbil with no tail and back legs Gotta love royals
