Today I'm going to feed Herman his first meal. I intend to get him on F/T, but since he's so young and in a new environment, I thought it might be best to give him a live meal or two first.
The mouse I picked up at the pet store is a bit bigger than his girth. Comparatively speaking, it's a bit larger than the frozen mice I purchased. I didn't get a weight on Herman before getting him settled into his new home, but he was hatched on June 6th and weighed 70g at birth.
Is there any chance that a small adult feeder mouse is going to be too much for my new little man?
PS- Why do the feeder mice have to be SO cute! Argh! I can't wait to flip to F/T.
PS- Any veteran suggestions, I'm all ears & appreciative. I am a little worried about the proces given that he's in a larger enclosure, but based on my readings here, I don't want to feed him in a separate container, so I'll just have to make sure I keep a close eye on everyone and don't lose the mouse!
