Get yourself some Retics my friend, no such problem there with feeding as long as you get out the bloody way!!! That's why I have both, the Retics make me feel like I'm doing nothing wrong when the Royals go off food, there my comfort blanket Laughing

Sounds like a plan, and the super dwarves seem a manageable size Wink

At least all the males are eating fine Wink Laughing

I must be really lucky, after all I've read I thought I was going to be in for a fight getting my newly acquired royals to eat, but they both hit the food like trains last night. I've only had one of them 24 hours as well. The other was new last week and that was bought on the footing that it was a picky feeder Confused
I'm sure there is time for them to stress me out though Cool

Brought 2 males a few wks back one feeds regular the other is like NO he's had maybe 2 rat pups since I've had him.

My adult male has started to feed again after 3mths off - but then he's been visiting a lady friend of his from the tub below. Have to say that marriage was planned for this week after her shed, they had other ideas when I put him in with her whilst I cleaned his tub!!

I also have a young female who's not eaten for 2mths so far but as she's not losing weight I'll leave her to it. Actually got 2 hognose males who haven't feed for a few wks either and a couple of corns too.

Hiya Mandie, the Hoggies and Corns may well want to brummate for a couple of months. My Hogs insisted on having a Winter kip a couple of weeks ago, and are now all in a cool room.
