got our new dumerils today.
i have never had a dumerils. she is so tiny and cute. i know that already she is a problem feeder. any advice anyone could give would be appreciated greatly.
she was super super cold when she got here so hoping she is alright.

Hi Andrea, congrats on your new Dum. My little male was a problem feeder he will only take live rat pups. Also I got a rubbermaid shoe box to feed him in. It can be a little stressful but she'll take off. Rat pups might be the answer. Hope this helps you.

in what way is she a problem feeder? i have a BCI and she wouldnt eat unless i was out of the room, and it was dark, but after 3 feedings, now she takes it right away, i barely have time to drop the rat in
