Re: Crow's Intro Thread
KAA ATE! God I am so relieved. The past 48 hours have been a straight countdown to this moment. His feeding response was immediate, it might have taken 10 seconds from the moment the mouse was released to when he snatched it up.
I was immediately concerned, the strike looked good, but I realized he'd gotten him across the top of his head, the mouth was free to move. I didn't see any chew marks and he didn't seem to mind swallowing mr. mouse, so I don't know. I did what quick inspection I could, without actually touching him. When he stood his neck straight up in the air to swallow, I didn't notice anything, so I think he is good.
I did 1 adult mouse, which is what the store I bought him from said that he was eating every Tuesday. I was concerned by the fact that after he swallowed the mouse honestly I couldn't tell that he had eaten. Hopefully I'll be able to order a scale soon and get some more accurate weights than "this big" and get some recommendations on at least the Gram amount he should be consuming.
So yeah, WOOT!
WARNO: Slight Blood.

If you successfully raise the humidity level you'll see this reverse itself and go away :)

AWESOME THANK YOU! I've noticed that the eye looks more and more moist every day, so I believe it's healing properly. I'm keeping the humidity >50% to work out a lot of the kinks. The environment he came from was really just crap. Kept in the same room as 0% humidity desert scorpions/spiders/lizards.
