Is he stressed?

Mice are fine to be honest as long as he's getting enough per feed ..

Don't beat yourself up :)

You're doing fine and he eats well which is great !

Ohhh :L I don't know.. The place I got him from (BHB reptiles) said medium mice.. That's just what I've been doing.. and the mice are about the size of the largest part of his body, maybe a bit bigger. And.. Ok, I know that they do like to be left alone.. But he does so well being out... I'll try to handle him less often. I won't touch him for a week now that I know he's stressed out, but I usually hold him like once every other day for like 5 mins :confusd: Sorry I'm really new to all this, I guess I didn't know as much as I thought :(

:) Thank you! Your so right :)

Don't beat yourself up. We all start out as newbies, we just need to continue learning.

Let your guy get settled in a bit. You've got many years together if you take proper care. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait.

Thank you so much :) I'll leave him alone for a week, and hopefully he'll be better. Thank you so so much for all your help and stuff :):)
