for the first time in god knows how long i don't have to throw any rats in the skip at work,which is a good thing as off work ill today.

fed the jcp and boa first, they always eat. dropped the rats in with the royals, went for a shower and by the time i got out they were gone .

sully last ate at the end of october and clover last ate a couple of days after christmas, previous to that it was 16wks since her last feed.

not getting too excited just yet but maybe its the end of their fast

Cool congrats - though hope you're feeling better soon!

Yeah, always a good moment when they come out of their fast.

I'm kicking myself because I left a rat in with Surahi a few days ago, and when I went some time later to check, it hadn't moved. Got the tongs to remove it and it was stuck ...had she moved and laid a heavy coil on its head? Lifted the hide gently ...and there was ratty, in Surahi's jaws.

But she's a shy feeder, and because I'd disturbed her, she gave up ...poor Surahi!

The rat was recycled by Buffy (I'm lucky to have a few large corns and a big gopher to mop up leftovers.) But although she's a big lass and won't starve in a hurry, do wish Surahi had eaten it ...
