It really is a great feeling when they eat in their new home for the first time. I adopted a vanilla last Saturday and she ate for the first time for me yesterday. Friday is feeding day for me so it was great having both my girls eat. A Med rat for my almost 1 yr old bp and a little Hopper for Apple(the vanilla). I will be switching over to rats once she has eaten another time or two here for me. Congrats on your first feeding.
