|  | Maccie Queen Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Gender:  | | | 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!!!

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!!!

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Earth Age: 39 | | | | 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. |
