Cool Rich, will do just that. As for feeding chicks goes, it was easier than getting him from mice to rats believe it or not! He had a longer wait between meals than usual as the local pet store had supply issues. Eventually I gave in and bought chicks. The price difference is huge £0.95 for medium rat vs. £0.30 for 2 small chicks. Even so I usually go rat, rat, chicks as I recon he prefers fur over feathers. No big difference in droppings, i use a pooper-scooper so couldn't really comment on consistancy!
Thanks for your advice guys, only joined today, you've been brilliant!
