So pleased. Our normal royal Nigel finally ate last night on a rat weaner after fasting for nearly 4 months. Its such a relief as he had started loosing weight at a rate of 18g-20g a week, a worrying time. Even the albino royal ate his mouse. He is not a regular feeder often skipping weeks here and there.
We now have two royals with full tummies, couldn't have a bigger smile right now

That's awesome ^_^ How old is he? Royals can be tricky buggers when they want, when we first got our little female she was skinny and clearly hadn't been eating, I had to assist feed for weeks and now she strikes at anything vaguely mousey smelling.

That's fab news, our boy at work has only just started eating again. He had been fasting since December. Blooming snakes they cause so much stress!

He was captive farmed and hatched 16th May 2012. He did fast for a short period around the same time last year but it was only for a month. I think he is a pretty good size for his age 3ft 6" and weighing 1.2kg so he was plenty big enough to cope with the fasting, its just that we never are lol.
