Vin struck at his pinkie for the first time today! He must've still been hungry from his fast during shedding and this was his 2nd post-shed meal. Usual he hides away when I pop his feeding dish in and then re-appears to eat once I've lowered the pinkie in and he thinks I've gone (shy little man), but this time as I lowered it in he watched alertly and then struck! I nearly dropped the feeding tongs in shock!

So proud that my little man's growing up!
