that could be what's happened in the past and it's put him off taking a decent sized prey-item

thats great,i done the same thing with diablo,start small and they soon get their appetite back.If your worried about subrate when feeding,get a piece of slate from b&q to use as a plate but remember to smooth the edges.Heres mine what i keep in the viv all the time.
