Isn't is SUCH an awesome feeling?? I'm a first time Ball owner too, and Axel (my bp) just ate for me 2 days ago for the first time. You would have thought it was the second coming how I went ON and ON about how amazingly happy I was and how wonderful he was...

Sadly, I'm not able to feed him f/t, but freshly dead, he likes. so consider yourself lucky!!

He's a gorgeous guy!! you've got a keeper there. ^.^
