So this past Tuesday it was clear that my guy was going into a shed. This is the first one since I've had him. I didn't see anything of him for the remainder of the week, but kept his tank humid. Yesterday I lifted his hide and misted the moss in there a bit.

Now today he has been out of his hide and very active. I don't see any sloughing. Sundays are his usual feeding days.

So is he just hungry, still in shed and trying to slough??? I guess I'm wondering whether I should defrost a rat and attempt a feed. Just by way of information I am a feeding separatist (new term) who puts him in a different container to feed while I spruce up his digs.

Also, if I attempt a feed and it is rejected can I refrigerate the warmed rat and use it to try again in a few days?
