As the other two guys just mentioned . The problem may have just been solved !
Never move the hide when feeding - on the contrary WAIT until it's UNDER the hide before feeding .
So do everything as suggested
I put pieces of card on the viv floor in the MORNING of the feed and then feed that evening.
I don't even change the water before feeding .. no movements at all - then mine all happily grab from WITHIN their hides . They just feel secure under there . Remember the hairdryer.
I open the viv door , get the rodent in the tongs , 10 second blast with the hairdryer and then dangle in front of the hide entrance INSTANTLY whilst it's still warm . They cool down very quickly .
If it doesn't grab it then repeat the process exactly ... as many times as it takes - maybe 7 or 8 - just be persistent.
Some people maybe lucky and have Royals that are great feeders. - I have three fabulous feeders but MANY are like my pair of Albinos - they need peace and quiet .
