    Question Feeding behavior

    I had a second successful feed but right after he finished eating he went into his hide then came back out (~20 seconds later) and he was, what seemed like, looking for something.

    Could this perhaps mean he is still hungry?
    He was fed a slightly smaller mouse then last week.

    He's 8 months old, under 2 feet. I don't have a scale, unfortunately.

    I was just curious since he didn't do that last time.
    Sorry, I'm still new.


    edit: oops, maybe this should be in 'General BP's'? :\

    Re: Feeding behavior

    Ok thanks, I'll try that.

    I presume that's how you feed 2 mice...
    Feed one wait until he finishes, then if he looks hungry you place the other?

    Yup thats all you do. Just wait till he/she pushes it down into the middle part of their body and realign their jaw, then give them the other mouse.
