my male royals just taken a fuzzy i defrosted it then got it real hot with the hairdryer and boom he struck made me jump and i threw it lol Embarassed

but just dangled it some more with the feeding tongs and he swallowed it bum first I'm so happy now even though it was a real small meal and never even caused a bump I'm still happy what shall i do from now on ? as a fuzzy really is a small snack Cool

You could try him with another fuzzy for now. (if he hasn't finished swallowing, you can slip it in quickly, before the first fuzzy is gone)
Then move up a size next feed.

well done though!
royals can be fussy beggars.

Also- use the same feeding method you just did, he obviously responds to it.

Nice one..good news..Leave it a few days then maybe you could try a small rat fluff..some snakes will ignore food if you offer too small a prey item..just make sure its not too big,as sizes do vary considerably.
