    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is there a trick to getting the male kenyans to eat? My female eats like a pig but he will only eat a few times a month if I'm lucky. She is going to be over 200 grams in the next month and he is at 58 grams but hasn't eaten for two weeks so I don't know if he will be big enough to breed. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I only try to feed him one fuzzy once a week. Every once in awhile he will eat two fuzzies. The male and female are not housed together and he has been in the same enclosure (29 gallon) since I got him last April. The first months he ate like clock work but has tapered off the older he has gotten. Should I try with pinkies again (He has been eating fuzzies when he eats for the last 4 months?
thanks

how about mine? It's just a little thing, that I purchased last fall. It will only eat live pinky mice...wants nothing to do with frozen/thawed. I've tried leaving it in a paper bag w/ the f/t pink overnight, as well as a deli cup overnight. Any suggestions?
 
Update
I got my male to eat tonight. I am not sure if he was hungry anyways but this is what I did. I put a small pinkie with him (I put him in a smaller container) he ate that after about 15 minutes. Then I added in a fuzzy which he started eating in 5 minutes.
