I had such a great feeding session today that I had to share.
I started by trying the male radix that I got from Pinjohn, I keep trying him but he's not fed since April so we've been getting concerned recently because he crossed the 3 month mark. He launched himself at the pinky I offered him, he tried taking it in the middle (Lacrimosa will take a pinky in its middle and fold it into her mouth, but Lipwig is a quarter her size) I gave him a hand to jiggle it headfirst. He swallowed and was looking for more and took a few pieces of salmon. I was offering some salmon to Vlad while Lipwig finished a piece, Vlad has got used to taking his time since Lippy hasn't been feeding and learnt his lesson when Lippy rushed over and close-mouth struck at Vlad before stealing the salmon.
So a feeding session where a long term non-feeder has eaten has got to be good.
Adora Belle was the next up, she's not fed since we moved house a month ago. But today took a whole pinky and some salmon. She's not been worrying me as much as Lippy but I'd like her to eat more consistently, so fingers crossed she's going to eat more frequently from here on.
As a bonus, one of the Blacknecks ate from the dish that I held up to her as she was hanging at the top of the plants. She normally eats most weeks but normally waits until I leave the room.
Everyone else has eaten, except "Tiddler" (the baby Cuitzeo) but his eyes are blue and he never eats going in to a shed.
All in all a great feeding session. :)
