So Sylar went 4 weeks without eating. Went off mice completely. First time I tried him with a rat pup was on Saturday and he took it straight away. Tried him with a mouse fuzzy again yesterday and he ignored it. Got some rat pups today and he ate two! Think I'll be sticking to rat pups from now on!

I normally wouldn't feed him again so soon after another meal but, as I'd put on another post, he had lost more than 10% of his body weight and I have been concerned about him. Back to weekly feeds from now on.

Tried Markham yesterday and they didn't have any so I got them from Wath on my way home today. They were 45p each (they didn't have a price listed so the guy just made it up) and Markham wanted 65p.

Afraid I'm not off mate. Half term begins at 1pm on Friday 24th

If you do then we could work together to persuade Nic that its some sort of rainbow boa and will only grow to 2.5' and then I can have it. LOL
