: BTW, how's Philip? Has he eaten? It's kind of funny, I think... Kadin (my black rat) is WC, she ate frozen really easily... and then these other CBB blacks won't even touch their food.

He ate half a pinky...and I'm not sure how he managed that, even though the pinky didn't hold up well to my attempts at tease-feeding...
He wouldn't eat a chicken-scented pinky I left him overnight with, so I assume he's full. I'm going to try a live newborn next, if I can get one.

: Oh well, I'll keep trying, have fun with Philip! Baby black rats are the cutest, aren't they? Oh, and for feeding, it works for me if I just put Kadin on the top of the cage next to the pinky, she strikes (in the middle, can't figure out that she can't eat it that way!!) and swallows.

He's absolutely adorable. =) He's out ALL the time...I'm used to my kingsnake, who usually stays buried until a day or so before he eats - then he's out looking around. But this little guy is all over the place...up on his branch, going around and around the tank, trying to climb up the tank [usually on the side I'm nearest. *g*].

Hopefully he eats in a week. Thanks for asking, and good luck finding your hatchling. =)
