well persistence pays off! A little patience and frontier medicine (tick removal) and Icc took two rat pups last night. The place I'm getting feeders from now orders bulk from rodentpro but they don't have weaned rats so I gave him two pups because although he was eating small rats before he hasn't eaten in so long I didn't want him to have to work too hard. But my buddy is eating again!
on a side note - part of the reason I've been away is that the house I live in (seven musicians, songwriters, and composers, and a classical violinist living in a tent in my back yard because he's trying to reject material possessions in order to refine his playing ability on his 20,000 dollar violin) we adopted a street kitten or rather, it adopted us. A skeleton of a kitten (black with a white diamond on his chest) came wondering up to the porch in May or June. We ended up feeding it and it lived on the porch.. I being the bleeding heart animal lover that I am litter trained him and took him in the house to live with us. Problem was we had no long term living plans (all musicians or starting our own businesses and have no permenant residence) and it's not fair to the cat to have him move around all the time plus we can barely afford to feed ourselves. So anyways I pool the money between all the guys and we take the cat to the vet and get all the shots and blood tests and rid of the ear mites (all for 85 bucks I might add!
He's a pretty big boy for 18 months eh?
