How often you feeding him?

Mouse hoppers are pretty small. It sounds like he might be digesting a small meal very quickly (1 day) then heading out to look for more food.

Just something to keep in mind.

I'm gonna see if I can go to pet smart soon and see what rats he can eat.(The one I got to breeds and prekills rats and mice) I have pics of him from like a week or two ago. He is 4 months old in a few days. What do you think he should be able to eat? Gonna add the pics after I get out of school because internet is slow.

If he's 4 months old he almost definitely needs something bigger than mice hoppers.

Best thing to do is weigh him, feed him something around 10% to 15% of his bodyweight.

If you can't weigh him (no scale), eyeball him and get him something about the same size as the widest part of his body.

Depending on how big/small he is for his age, I would imagine he could be on rat pups easily enough by now. If they don't have rat pups you can substitute adult mice.

How often are you feeding him?

Rat pups or small weaned would do that guy some good.

Alright thanks for the help. I can't get them now because I'm busy this week. But, I'll get them next Saturday when I go to the reptile expo or maybe after it.
I think he will be fine till then. He still looks big and healthy.

My guy is 108 grams and is eating large adult mice...also I adjusted the heat mat to 94 degrees. And keeping airtemp on hot side around 85/86 and I woke up this morning to him back in his hide like usual...:)

Check ya temps

Also,IMO,I'd get a separate humidity gauge and temp gauge... I'd leave the humidity gauge center of tank about 4" from bottom of the tank..and I'd put the heat temp strip n the hot side about 4" up from the bottom as well and about 6" inches from the hot end of the tank over..get a probe,place it under the bedding inside the tank right above the heat mat,hold it down with a piece of aluminum tape..and regulate your heat mat..

I believe where u have your gauges set you will be getting false readings.
