That's so good to hear! I'm glad you got him to eat. Hopefully he'll start eating normally again.

thanks for all yalls help,the feeling when he started swallowing that first mouse was great and when I was able to chain feed a second as he was swallowing I couldnt believe it .I peeked in on him a hour or so later and he was in his warm hide and this morning it looked like he kept them down I was so happy.
I did want to ask should I wait a full week before offering him another or should I do it sooner/later. I figure I'll keep his meals smaller for now but may try a hopper next time hes big enough to eat a small mouse and if he was filled out he could eat a large mouse/rat hopper.
Thanks again for all yalls help

I would give him a week and offer a hopper, then the small mouse a week later if all goes well. You don't want to push a ton of food on a critter that has fasted for a long time.
