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

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????
