Hi and welcome, yes they have that reputation for non feeding but really if they are kept correctly they feed fine just don't get too over stressed if they refuse a couple of times they will eat when hungry providing everything else is ok :)

hello and welcome. i'd be excited too, it doesn't seem to matter how many you've have or have had a new addition is always exciting.
i've been lucky as far as feeding goes, although i need to try to get him onto rats rather than mice and i've read that they can sometimes turn their noses up at rats.
the only time monty has been funny about being picked up he was going into shed and think is eyesight wasn't at it's best. guess the best thing to advise is to be confident and persevere gently and hopefully in time he'll be better. |
