The thing is I sleep at 3 am and I never see him out I see him poke his head out but that’s it and he always comes out morning or at around 4-6 pm it’s weird he will then go back into his hide and never come out
Today is feeding day and I haven’t fed him for two weeks cuz he was acclimating and I was told to skip I also feel like a fuzzy mouse is to small for him but it’s all I have right now so idk what to do

What size rat should I do don’t know his weight I ordered a weight but honestly I don’t even know his age the store I got him from didn’t know and I wanna make sure he’s healthy and eating right for his age

That said if he hadn't feed yet then feed what he's used to in order to make sure he's happy and feeding in his new home.

What's his heat source and temps? I would also make sure you have similar hides on both the hot and cool side of his tank so he can regulate temps as needed.
UTH and I have it connected to a thermostat temps are at 83-88 they aren’t the same size hides but they look fairly similar and they gave me a rat pinkie to feed him when I got him but I feel like it’s to small and he’d still be hungry when should I feed him again I have a rat pinkie and I think a mouse fuzzy
Should I feed in our out of cage?

I always feed in cage, this won't lead to an agressive BP, it keeps them in their comfy space.
I would personally try to acquire some rat fuzzies, and finding a breeder in your area for feeders will be a huge bonus as he grows.
No breeder or store in my area has rat fuzzies right now they only have small medium and large rats and pinkies they have more mouse options but idk he’s always been feeding on rats and if I switch it may be hard to switch him back what size should I do? I have mouse fuzzies and a rat pinky with us probably the same size now that I think about it

As for feeding, I would stick with the rat and order some feeders online if you can. The upfront cost seems like a lot, but WAY cheaper in the long run.
And, as much as I love your background art as well, darker is better.
Okay I’ll get black construction paper and draw trees in whole crayon got it but as for feeding I have called everywhere and no one seems to have the right size they all have pinkies and small rats up but not fuzzies should I just feed him the rat pinkie and move up next week? And when I move up should I do a rat pup or a rat fuzzy

I would feed the rat pinky and go from there. As far as what size next, what does he weigh?
