Posted - 17/05/2010 : 13:30:47 So ive had falcore for over 2 months now without him feeding for me. he ate once but when i took him to the shop for them to try. I tried one last ditch attempt by downsizing his home to a cricket tub with an inch of aspen and water bowl in. put a 3rd on the heatmatt and left him alone for 9 days. Came to feed him friday night in his home and he was really interested but would take it. so after a while i left it with him. when i went back in the morning pinky was still there. i was about to give up and throw away the pinky but thought id try and get him to take it one last go as i saw his hea popping out. so i jingled the pinky around to create movement and vibrations and after a few mins the next thing i know falcore has its head in his mouth. So i left him to eat and went back 10 mins later. the pinky had gone and falcore buried. i was worried he had jsut dragged it under but after leaving him 2 days i checked the substrate this morning and no pinky plus im sure i would have smelt it by now. so so happy. going to try again saturday and hope he has the taste for it now and will feed regulary. :) |
