Congratulations, I'm glad he fed.

Hairdryer method is overpowered. xD

Indeed, fingers crossed we have the same success next week and following... Getting him settled into a good routine would be great

That's so great to hear !!!

It's been on my mind all day LOL

Thanks for the quick update as well !

Just a thought
Next time consider putting some card /paper down in front of the hide just to minimise the ingestion of bark ...

Some don't bother but can't do any harm .



Anyway CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!

LOL I was wondering wether you would have seen it yet or not, pics included so you know I'm not fibbing and we have done it already looking forward to nect week to see if he keeps this improvement up, hopefully he's on the up from here on now

No worries !!

I always do but even then I've still seen odd bits of bark go down with the rat

Over the years , I've actually got rather adept at plucking bits out of their mouths with tweezers , at the last moment
Many don't bother , pointing out that snakes eat off the ground all the time - who knows .

I always imagine them on dirty / dusty / earthy surfaces rather than loads of reptile bark ....

Lol yeah I watched him eat it and was praying he didn't take anything down with it, it's another of them subjects I guess with no real definitive answer some say they can digest substrate in small amounts some say they cant, either way I won't be risking it next time, wonder if clyde slept well last night after a shed and a big meal haha
