First feed today for ripley
Had her a week today and was told to feed her three pinkies but having been advised on here not to feed three items and to go for a fuzzy instead or just two pinks
I opted for just the two pinks, she didn't seem interested at all at first which had me a little concerned as I didn't leave her the seven day to settle, I was impatient and held her after three days lol
But after prodding her in the face with the pinky a few time I think she snapped out of anger more than owt else lol
Very impressive to see something so small with such speed and power
She took the second very gently tho...
I noticed too that her eyes were clouded which iv also been told means their less likely to feed
So overall I'm very happy having not let her settle in correctly and her being in blue she still put on a show for me lol

Cheers guys, I tried to get the money shot when she snapped but was near on impossible given the speed, came out way too blurry
Borrow the old mans expensive camera for next time, fingers crossed ;-)
So happy she fed well first time, just can't wait for her to shed now!

I'm SO PLEASED for you - nice one I'm still in the settling in period (day 5 and counting lol) so feed day for us is really soon.

I already fed Henrietta before she came to me BUT I'm still nervous and excited to see if she's "happy" enough to eat with me here at home
