All the diamond hatchy's i have dealt with have taken fuzzy mice easily as there first feed they seemed to prefer something with hair. good luck let us know how you go, as there are a few other tricks i can let you in on that have worked for me over the years pm me if you like.

Cheers Ricko
I know that Diamonds and BHP's are different to feeding, was just using that as an example lol..

Also... I thought that live feeding wasn't acceptable, from the other threads that have been on here.
