Odd Feeder

[Gungirl]

So I have a ball who is about 9 months old..He has been in my care for 4 months. I have switched him from eating live to eating frozen!!! The odd thing is he only will take the food if Me or my fiancee is holding him! The first few times I was moving him into a feeding bin that had the food in it he took the food before I was able to put him down and I never thought anything of it. He recently went on a strike and refused for almost 5 weeks. I was putting the rat into the feeding bin after I put him in. Well last night I put the rat down into the feeding bin and was holding him and he took it right away... such a spoiled brat he is! I am hopeful that next week I can get him to take it without me holding him. It seems that he is very shy when not in my hands but when we hold him he acts like a big tough guy.. lol
