For the time being I decided to name my ball Windir (bonus points if you know!). I decided to give him his own thread so I don't have to post new ones all of the time. I fed him yesterday, it was his 3rd meal. He's been eating one live mouse every sunday. I'm getting ready to try and switch him to f/t. I am completely alright with it if he decides he only wants live. My reasoning for f/t is the convenience of buying in bulk, I have a very hard time finding live rat weanlings in my area. Live mice are easy to find, live rats are easy to find but hes not big enough for one of those.

I don't want to "starve" him or cause him more stress, he seems to be settled in. I was wondering what your opinions are if I were to skip a meal and then try f/t? He's young so I don't want to do anything harmful by not giving him the food he requires but at the same time, if hes hungry enough maybe he'll take it no problem. Thoughts??

He has FINALLY shed completely. It wasn't one nice pretty piece, it was a few big pieces. Everything is off and brand new! I'm hoping to get pictures up some time tomorrow. I want to let his belly settle a little more after his meal. Here are a couple pics from last week, he's still partially shedding.
