Hello,

We have a young royal about (50cm long) which we were advised to feed once a week, with a medium sized rat pup. Most weeks he eats, however only if you wiggle his food in front of his nose, if he drops it or you just leave it in the viv he will not touch it. Last night he bit the pup, dropped it and then refused to eat it. Would you try and feed him the following day or just leave it to the following week? In the past I have left it to the following week and he has eaten.

Cheers
