    Re: Anyone have a Royal / Ball that only ate thawed chick HEADS !?

    Maybe I’ve accidentally fallen on a way of kick starting a fasting Royal / Ball into feeding

    Just need a few more people to try their stubborn snake with a couple of chick heads

    Hmmm,

    Maybe two chicks at a time makes him feel "full up" and triggers a small fast? Maybe one chick at a time could help?

    No it’s the chick heads that coax him OUT of his fasts


    I really don’t know .. he’s a big lad 1.6k and he took two chicks the very next night ( as he did last time the two chick head trick worked ..)

    But why would he go months refusing mice / rats / chicks / gerbils etc BUT then break the fast tempted by CHICK HEADS ?

    I think I explained it badly.

    I think the chick heads temp him because they are smaller meals and was wondering if the previous feed before he started fasting had made him feel too satiated. Thus triggering the fast when another large meal was offered.

    Does that make sense?
