I finally got my pastel to take a F/T without moving it with a tweezer! Now if I can just get him to stop biting me.

thats funny!! i recently picked up a male pastel and he hasnt bitten me but he isnt so happy to be picked up. also he wasnt eating for a few weeks and i put a small rat pup in over nite and he did eat. yesterday i got him to eat a pre killed without even trying i simply put it in and he ate within a hour and it was a nice size small rat. he weighs about 450 550 grams!! i also have a spider that is on the not so nice side. he is only 200 300 grams and does not like company. i know i will get bitten by him sooner or later. does it hurt much?? good luck!!

Not sure on the pain part. He is only 2 months old so he can't (or dare I say didn't) ever latch on. His mouth is too small for my hand.. Hopefully he'll calm down soon.
