Tonight was full of surprises when it came to feeding.

Surprise 1: the little bee I got on Tuesday felt comfortable enough to eat and as far as I know ate f/t for the first time. (two small victories there )

Surprise 2: my shy spotnose nab the rat pup as soon as I put it down near her, usually she waits until I close her tub and walk away.

And surprise 3 (the best surprise of all): my pastel yellow belly appears to have decided her 2 month fast might be over. She scared me when she shot out of her hide to snatch the f/t pinkie rat, I'm pretty sure she split it open too. I was offering her a pinkie because I don't have access to f/t fuzzy rats and she seemed afraid of the rat pups she was eating before. (so one small victory there ) The real test will come next week when I tried to feed her a rat pup again.

The only one that didn't take the rat when offered was my normal, but I left it in her tub. If she eats then all of my BPs will have eaten for once, if she refuses then it will be the first time she has ever refused a meal, so either way I get a first. I think she will eat it though, she struck at it but missed which tells me she wanted it, I just didn't feel like standing there waiting for her to strike again. ^__^

I'm super happy about my pyb eating and my bee taking f/t. Now if only my KSB would hurry up and shed so I can post some pictures of him (he's new as of last week).
