My new arrival

Pyro shed today so he was weighed and he has broke 200g!

I am waiting on a new rodent shipment to arrive this week. It has the rats that Pyro will be switched to from mice.

He never skips a meal, is really easy going, and curious.

Gorgeous king! He's growing very nicely Fire.

Awesome!

I still love the Kings!!

You have a nice trio there!

What a cutie :) thanks for sharing.

Well I thought I was going to have trouble because I have switched Pyro over to rats. At first he was not having anything to do with the rat. I got him to strike the rat and that changed his mind.
Even with a big meal he wandered around his enclosure for a while. I also had just cleaned it so I guess he had to inspect things. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...bbcd1523de.jpg

Looking nice man :gj:

Pyro is a very nice King. You'll probably see a nice growth spurt now that he's on rats. My Kings really bulked up when I had them on rats but then they both took long food breaks so I switched them back to mice.

So yours went off feed for a bit, how long? Any idea why they did this?

With my work schedule, I feed him the day before I go to work and that works out to him being feed every 5 days. The rats are the right size to make a small lump and I only have to feed him one. I was feeding him 4 pinkie mice to use up the mice so I could order the rats.

I'm not sure what made them shut down on rats. Looking back in my records they started eating rat weaners in mid June and ate them through mid July then they both started refusing rats for (3-5) consecutive feedings. I offered mice again and they both switched back on. I probably could have waited them out and not offered mice anymore but I figured I'll just give them what they prefer to eat. My kings are a little larger than Pyro, (450g & 550g each) so now I feed them (2) large mice or (1) jumbo mouse every 7 days. Both of my bulls will still eat rats with no hesitation. Hopefully you won't have any issues :).

Still growing. Pyro will eat rats but I am thinking he prefers the
mice. I am also trying my skills at building the foam fixtures and I am going to try and turn this into an oak tree stump hide. We shall see.
