    Finally ate
    Long story short, I bought a yellow belly off fauna back in June. Up until 2 weeks ago I could not get the guy to take a single meal no matter what I offered. I contacted the seller to find out if he was a picky eater or what. The suggested I get a hopper rat and leave it in with him over night but make sure to put some apples or something in there for the rat to eat. (I dont like that idea but I was at my wits end.) So I checked around and could not find a pet store that sold hopper size(still blind) rats. So I decided I would try a mouse still dangerous but less then a rat. Keep in mind this is a 1000g male YB so I knew a mouse would be nothing more then a snack. I left a mouse over night and the next morning no mousey. I wasnt sure if the mouse got eaten or escaped. The lid I thought was a little looser then it should have been. Well about 5 days later he pooped so I knew he ate. The next feed cycle I left another mouse and within an hour it was gone. So I figured maybe he doesn't like rats so I went to a 3 day mouse schedule on him. The next mouse 3 days later disappeared in 10 minutes or less. I figured now that he is finally eating something I would give a small rat one more try and within a minute he hit and is currently in the process of eatting the rat. So yeah "ole yella" (his name) finally ate. I was worried he is my first morph and I didn't want him to starve, I know breeding season here is coming up quick I wanted to get a few rats in him before that starts and he goes off feed.
