I got him two weeks ago and after having him four or five days I attempted to feed him. Austin refused to eat so I left him alone. This past wednesday I tried again but nothing. I now know why. He shed the very next day. I tried feeding him again on friday but still no luck. I tried again last night and decided to be a bit more agressive with the zombie dance. I put the pinky right up by his face and twitched it around. He struck at it three times. Third time was the charm. He ate. Yay!
