    At long last...

    ...he finally ate! Young Mulligan decided to stop eating about two months or so ago, which was very unusual for him. I put it down to upgrading him to his new improved bigger Viv. He was happily munching away on adult mice in his old Viv but as soon as I moved him he flat refused to eat them. So I thought I would try him with one of O'Hares surplus pinkies and he took it no bother. Tried him with a couple of fuzzies and hey presto, he took them as well. Seeing as he was in feeding mode I tried him with an adult mouse and as per usual he turned his nose up at it.

    Anyway, the moral of the story is he finally ate something. Think I'll try him with a couple of rat pups next week!

    Few pics of him finally eating!

    Thanks Python.Princess It has been a relief to get him eating again but I need to get him onto something more substantial than pinkies/fuzzies.

    I have added a lot more fake foliage and logs to make his new Viv seem less daunting, so hopefully that will help him settle in a bit better. That is if that was the problem but at least he has taken a few prey items
