As you know we brought our pinstripe from A London shop a 4 weeks back. Was an absolute nightmare trip but worth it to get this little man.

We were told he was feeding well on rats, but only being 127g was told he was a late CB10. Long story short, he hadn't eaten a single thing for us. He struck once a few days ago but missed then wasn't interested. He's underweight has a proper toblerone shape

So today phoned The london shop and spoke to one of the guys (who was at Hamm when we picked him up) just wanted to know their feeding routine for him. Turns out he was new in and wasn't ready to be sold as wasn't yet an established feeder gotta ring back tomorrow when the boss man is in to see what he says but..........




Just took a small mouse, but it's a start. We arnt counting our chickens And know this probably isn't the end to our problems. But has taken a bit of stress off and wanted to share!!

So here he is looking all pleased with himself

Just read through the thread, you have really brought him on :) So glad he is eating for you. Hope he continues to fill out for you.

Feed number 6 under the belt today

No brain boiling required either! Although had a slight hairy moment. He smelt the mouse. Then turn towards me before striking! Mouth wide open and everything!! Thankfully didnt put him off and struck again perfectly so very happy with our 143g little man!!





Trying to show off how well he's filling out... No toblerone shape any more!



Have I got something in my teeth????
MrsA82 Posted - 24/04/2011 : 17:09:17

Did try a rat but showed some signs but didn't strike

Glad he's started to eat for you. Lets hope he settles himself into a nice little munching routine.
He's so stunning, I wish I could find one like him, then I'd deff get a royal!!!

Well update......

He has eaten again tonight another mouse which was a mega 2g heavier than last weeks!!!
Took a bit more persuading but e took it. If we get another mouse down him next week may try a rat fuzzy

Hmm, yes, like I say, I'm not a fan of that certain shop!

Hope things turn out ok, it's good he has eaten.
sparkaly Posted - 30/03/2011 : 22:13:16
Aww he's beautiful, hope everything turns out ok for you both. Lets hope it's the first of many dinners :)
