after refusing the last 5 feeds, Queenie ate his mouse this morning 
BUT if he thinks I'm getting up at 5.30am every 5-7 days to wave a mouse under his nose he's sadly mistaken! There's only one 5.30 in my day normally and that's pm not am. It's all the wide-awake toddler's fault!
Least he's eaten now |

Well done, does that mean Rocky is about to stop again!
How often were you trying with Queenie? |

he last ate 27th July
refused 2nd August
refused 5th August
refused 10th August
refused 16th August
ate on 18th August
so he's not fasted that long, it's the repeated refusal of mice that starts to worry me. every time I feed him I go through the same routine that was working before, his set up and temps are the same as before too, I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong??? |

I don't think you are doing anything wrong- it's just a Royal thing. Don't feel guilty, they'll eat when they eat.  |

He had a couple more today, both good strikes. I've been feeding him every 5 days as he's eating now so he's had 6 (3 lots of 2)mice in the last 11 days now! |
