the saga continues........

Does he regulate his temperatures properly?

 

[diamondlil]

I've given him all the advice and help I can. I've never seen his set-up. He'll have to give those answers.

 

[diamondlil]

I didn't expect a result so didn't have the camera ready Lil is 117 grams and ate a fat f/t fuzzy in 5 minutes flat! To think my baby was 8 grams and at death's door this time last year!

After reading this entire thread i would like to thank you for all the usefull info and funny comments. Definately the way to spend a day off work

Your Lil is looking awesome now, can't believe the change from those photos from over a year ago.

Shame about the little Skooge snakey, after you got him feeding so well. Hope hes ok.

I will definately be referring to this thread if i need feeding advice in the future.

I also did not realise the U.K laws on feeding live mice, ooops

Thanks again

:cheers:

 

[diamondlil]

Thanks Jimmus. It's been a bitter-sweet journey and a very steep learning curve.

 

[Jimmus]

Im sure the years worth of knowledge in this thread will help many people with problem feeders.

I am thinking of getting some breeder mice, thanks in part to you My friends already think im wierd enough owning a snake let alone breeding its food hehe

:cheers:

:cheers: 2 fuzzies last night, looks like Lil is back on track.

 

[jenkva]

YAY, Hurray!
Well, with you that is not surprising, they would eat even if they don't want to, you are a eating-snake-charmer :grin01:

 

[diamondlil]

Lil just suits herself now, she wanted only live pinks last month, now she's happy with f/t fuzzies :shrugs: Next time, who knows?

 

[Jimmus]

How about Shreddies?

They keep the hunger locked up 'till lunch

:cheers:

p.s - advanced apologies for that outburst

 

[diamondlil]

:grin01: Not sure I'm ready to try cereal-based breakfasts on Lil, but I like weetabix

 

[Jimmus]

HeHe lol

How about pinkie rubbed 'Bitesize' weetabix? She might enjoy them

Im studying The Cornsnake Morph guide at the mo, hence the outburst lol

Glad to hear Lil is doing good...feels like i know her so well due to this thread

:cheers:

That's certainly good news. After shedding two weeks ago, ShoeString has been eating three pinkies every Tuesday, all by himself. He doesn't like to eat more often, but isn't large enough for me to give him fuzzies yet. Since learning to eat on his own, he has become more active, as well as physically stronger. He is growing appreciably now, after staying so small for so long. He doesn't seem to need the "privacy towel" over the feeding bin anymore, so I get to watch him eat his din-din, grinning the whole while and telling him what a good baby he is and how proud Daddy is of him.

Yeah, I know: I'm a sentimental sap

In that case Jaxom, once those pinks are digested, it's time for update Shoestring photos!

Since you asked

 

[jaxom1957]

I was trying to get a picture against the light wall. Shoestring thought it was time to do chin-ups.

 

[jenkva]

aww, Shoestring is gorgeous!!

 

[jaxom1957]

aww, Shoestring is gorgeous!!

I think so, too, but I may be biased. :cheers:

 

[diamondlil]

aww, Shoestring is gorgeous!!

I second that! What a beauty, and looks fit as a fiddle too.

 

[diamondlil]

:cheers: A text from Skooge's owner says she's doing well, I'll ask him to update here
