WooHoo!!!

Monty finally ate tonight. Yippee!! I have had him for a month and tried a few other times to feed him. Nobody around here had any frozen fuzzy rats in stock. So I had to get a live adult mouse. Put Monty in a storage bin to get him ready to feed. Then proceeded to knock the mouse out. I used the the door jam and a plastic bag. Took a couple tries as I didn't want to do it too hard. Besides, that is one mess I would rather not clean up. Anyway, after the wife calmed down, she hates mice, I took the mouse to Monty and yoink! ........mmmmmmm...... mouse .......... aaaggghhhhhh!!!! Everything went down ok and I put him back in his cage.

cant wait to be posting stuff like that Doc. congrats to both of you!

Congrats! Isn't it just the best when they accept their prey? Have you tried feeding Monty a rat yet (or f/t)?

Yes. I have previously tried only with frozen thawed fuzzy rats. Which is what he was fed before I got him. When I had tried before, I would leave them in the cage all night. This was before I read that it was better to feed them in something else, besides their cage. He never did eat the f/t rats. So I threw them out, epecially after being out all night. When I went to get some today, the three pet stores around here were out of stock. All they had were pinky mice. So I had to go with a live one. I am going to order some f/t fuzzy rats from rodentpro.com. That way I will have plenty on hand. Thanks.
