Also if it's any use, can you get to Essex? if you can bring it and i'll have a go with some live and if it feeds i'll move it to defrost then you can have it back and either sell or keep.

hi punky-jen

you are not alone with the royal not feeding. Ive had mine 3 weeks now. wont feed. does not even attempt to strike either.
she has stayed the same weight though,and moves around viv ok.
it is worrying. fingers crossed our little ones feed sometime soon!! at least yours showed a bit of interest!

Well most know my thoughts but for those who dont, go to local shop discreetly ask for a live fluff, put live fluff in with royal, go away come back later chances are no fluff left.

Worked a treat for mine. Literally 2 minutes it took.
Mind you she had lost 5-6grms and only wiehged 51grms.
Had she been a bit bigger I would have waited a bit longer before trying this method.
Also helps if you know someone with some new baby mice. Then there'snot the trouble of having to ask at the shop.

I can just picture myself asking for a live baby mouse at petsmart and explaining i wanna feed it to my snake.

They would whip me with dog belts as i was thrown out the door.

They're not allowed to sell a live animal to feed to another.
Many will do, on the quiet, but it helps if it's a rep shop. They would understand a lot better.
I didn't need to go to a shop. I don't think I'd have had the nerve in case they reported me.
