Quick Feeding Question

[Zincubus]

So for your older Royals, do you just not feed if they are anywhere but their hide? I have fed mine twice now (first time him in his hide and second with him in the middle of the enclosure stretched out) the time when he was stretched out it did take him a while longer to strike and his strike was not a very quick exciting strike either. Should I just always feed him when he’s inside his hide too to ensure best results (if he’s not in hide wait as lone as I’m awake for him to go in a hide if he doesn’t then wait until next day) or does it not matter?

Yep my older Royals ( for whatever reason) will ONLY strike from their hides so in the evening I thaw the mice/ rats in the snake room then wait until it’s getting dark - then as soon as I see they’re settled under a hide I give the rat a blast with a hairdryer then dangle it in front of the hide entrance.

100% success rate ( as long as they’re not in shed mode ) . I do feed the older ones every 10 to 14 days though
