Jealousy is such a curse!!! It annoys me when people have to do stuff like that!!! It's not called for!!!!

Your obviously meaning you take it like a girl... not a woman!! Woman can handle pain!!!
Nah just playing with ya, I must admit my first time at feeding was very scarey!!! But now I feed our diamond (with no tongs - just extra long fingernails haha) not a problem!!!

I suppose you don't want to sell her?? We are looking to buy a female for our male and we live sunny coast and DON'T want to freight interstate!!!

Nah sorry I aint selling this girl, never. I use tweezers to feed everything here so it's more a habit than being scared of her, she has never bitten and I don't think she ever will. I even feed my frogs and lizards with the tweezers.

Yeah jealousy is a curse I know, I have a few people who are jealous of our collection!!!

Hi Adam, I have a 5yo+ male diamond, he also will not eat rats, has been a daddy twice, great idea to scent the rat with the mouse, only problem is he is not stupid so then won't eat either. A feed for my carpets costs $10 a jumbo. He costs me $35 a try feed. Not sure i can help but PM me for a chat.
