Has anyone bought a CF royal? I was considering getting one but want to know what sort of feeding probs people have had with them compared to the CB. I know that most of the royal hatchlings in the shops will be CF unless they are sold as CB. I have heard that they can have feeding probs when they are young due to all the stress of being shipped etc.
Any comments?

i think cf royals will be a little more tempermental, as for feeding all royals can have feeding probs and it all depends on what there feeding records, also though they can go of for no reason in which case i take a new feedin method! usually they will attack anything they see as a big threat so if the mouse keeps coming towards them and wont stop they will end up eating(i would NOT advise it for normal feeding method)

one of mines is a CF they are hard to feed in some cases but the reason why CFs have their bad names is parasites and if you do buy one take it to vets for check over as soon die
if you find a good one that feeds thats great but some refuse and starve themselves to death
good luck with your purchase vicki and if you get it can we see pics

Most certainly not, lol. I just dont think I will be able to afford one just yet. I mean £350!!! I will be saving and may get one at the end of the year or next year. Its consting me a fair amount to get my rack set up, with all the tubs, water bowls, heat strips, wood and pinkies I will have to buy. Im buying a little each week so I dont notice the money as much, lol
I still might be getting a brb when my friends gives birth but it depends on the price.
Im going to look at the royals hopefully this weekend, so if they seem in good health the the guy is holding one for me until i get back off holiday ;D Will let you know how i get on.
