One of mine is like that with her f/t, she loves the nice little Article Mice from Petsmart, but hates the bulk frozen ones from Jack's. She likes her zombie rats to be pretty lol.

I've heard of them being as picky as certain colors and certain sex.

Ive got one that I have noticed will only go after the darker rats. He will chase the black or VERY little whit rats and will ignor the white ones. I havent noticed if this is a pattern of his since most of my feeders are white anyways, but have bought feeders from a few friends and he wont eat the darker ones. All of the others I have do not have any problems with it.

I would try to start switching him over to rats if feed f/t this may become a little annoying .. It looks like from the pics he should beable to take 2-3 mice with no issue

I wouldn't worry about ur phone fallin on him as long as it didn't hit him in the head

That's exactly how mine is! He adores the ones from petsmart. I hold it in tongs for about 10 seconds before he snatches it up but I waited forever with the other mice and he just seemed to play with it. I think I would go nuts if he was so picky and only ate one sex.

Oh wow I'm definitely going to feed at least two and see how he likes that. I wish I could order rats or something in bulk so I wouldn't have to feed multiples eventually but I don't want to deal with more skipped meals and rejection until he's at a better weight. Sooo frustrating!

& he seems fine. It fell on his lower back. He already hated my phone too and now he has reason.

He likely is fine a meal skipped here and here is fine .. there many places u can order bulk rats just look on the feeder formus .. I cant remember what I used to use ... I stopped feeding f/t a while ago

U know what else u can do is ask around here there is a lot of people that breed n sell feeders here just ask around
