Crash's first feed last week went very well -1st mouse lasted less than 5 minutes; the second less than 1. Last night was his 2nd feed. As usual, we had 2 live mice. He dawdled around for close to 10 minutes with the first one before finally striking on it. Let him eat it then offered the 2nd. He made a couple of half-hearted strikes at the mouse but other than that, he literally let the mouse run all over him. After about 20 minutes, we put Crash back in his cage and left the mouse in Crash's dining room.

Tried again tonight. Again, no luck after about 15 min. Crash made a couple of half-hearted strikes but ultimately didn't do anything with the mouse. Had my son put the snake back in his cage and left the mouse in the dining room.

Should we be disinfecting the dining cage after every feeding to avoid confusing the snake? Should we just leave him alone and offer the mouse again next Tuesday night, which will be his regular feeding night?

Thanks!
