    Am I the only one....
    This may sound wrong, but am I only one who gets a little too excited when my snakes eat? I look forward to feeding day. I just got 0.2 Pastels and 0.1 Spider and they ate flawlessly, no hesistation. I am lucky enough to have a great group of eaters. If none of my snakes strike in 2 minutes, its cus theyre not hungry and wont be eating for a couple of days.

    Btw the pastels & spiders are hatchlings and they demolished the rat fuzzies instantly.

    i just put up a post about how much i love my best feeder. Its a great feeling to have one that is just a pig, and to have most or all of them like that is rare and even better!

    I was super excited! I got my first ball last Wednesday and yesterday I offered him a hopper mouse "after searching for him for 6 hours". He took after it like a champ, even though he had been feeding on rats. Glad to know he isnt a picky eater at all.

    I love it on feeding night when some if not all mine eat - it is a wonderful thing.

    After 4 years of owning bp's I have finally learned that some of mine will go off feed for extended period of time but I just can't take it personally or let it upset me - they will eat when they are hungry.

    It's funny though, on feeding night if one of my picky eaters decides to eat that night - my mood immediately turns euphoric!!!!!

    Amazing how these little creatures can run your whole life.

    I love it when they eat. Last night, I just fed my 1.0 Pin (rat pup) and my 1.0 Pastel (rat weanling) and even my 0.0.1 normal (rat weanling) ate while in shed.

    I swear my weeks get better when I have to go buy rats. I've been lucky (knock on wood) to never have problem feeders. I feed good sized prey and often and they always come out like they are starving. I've never had any hesistations. But I know it'll come eventually.

    I may be wrong, but I have found it easier to find mice to the rat eaters than to feed rats to the mice eaters. Either way, congrats, but try to stick to rats of you can.

    My snakes, especially my Mocha, eats anything even while in shed.

    I agree!!! It's especially rewarding when my trouble eaters chow down!!!
