Why going with your instincts sometimes works...

I remember being told when I first got into royals "Never ever feed them chicks, they'll never go back onto rats"....Well that's funny, cos Gandalf's feeding chart goes:

01/12/2010 - Chick (drop)
08/12-2010 - Chick (drop)
15/12/2010 - Sm. Weaner rat (strike)

No scenting or trickery...he just ate them! Boo-ya!

It sometimes pays to take a risk if it gets an animal feeding....unfortunatley this trick didnt fool Obi, who still think sif he starves himself, he gets a lady.

(I know for a big adult male a small weaner is but a snack but he's not eaten for a couple of months before the 1st December and he turned up a jumbo rat the week before the chick so i'm moving him up bit by bit...)

Just goes to show that these people who are recognised for knowing what they are talking about, sometimes talk a load of rubbish. Glad he's feeding.

Experience counts for everything but at the end of the day the only experience you have is your own.
