Today was Feeding Day...

[exwizard]

...and one by one everyone in my room ate that was scheduled to eat this week. Most ate right out of my hand. This was one of the smoothest feedings I have had in a long time; no refusals, no nothing other than their eager anticipation of the meals that were coming their way.

Big Mama had to be force fed, however. We used a pup for this purpose but it's better than nothing which was what she had for the last 6 months.

This was the short week so none of the Dums ate this week plus the rodent bill was even lighter due to the fact that a retired breeder that I took home with me a few weeks ago gave birth to a litter of 6 shortly afterward. I fed off the mama rat today along with her 5 remaining pups. Rmf can fill you in on the rest after she feeds the snakes at her place. Any extras will come back here. I'm sure I can find a Dum or two that are more than willing to eat tomorrow even though this is their off week.

Also, I forgot to mention Jane. I've been trying to cut her back to every other week but last week, unprovoked and out of the blue, she proceeded to grab ahold of my elbow and wrapped herself around my arm in total feed mode. It wasnt feeding day but she was hungry. Needless to say, that's not going to happen again. She is a Mack and as a Mack, she has a ferocious appetite and Im thinking I need to feed her every week to prevent that sort of thing from happening again, so yeah, she got fed an XL today and will continue to get fed every week.
