Looking good. I love that 2nd picture, with him peeking out of your sleeve. They can be so adorable sometimes!

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

I don't think any BP is small enough to require pinkies (If you're talking about mouse pinkies). Try a small fuzzy mouse.

Hi There
Indeed I did have allot of trouble when I first got him. I left him a week to settle & after that he refused quite a few times. This is how I tackled it..
I waited untill I saw his little head poking out of his hide at night & defrosted the mouse.I heated the tip of the mouses nose with a hairdryer..(this probably sounds daft but really works) This will obviously bring the temp of the mouse up to entice him more. When the mouse was hot enough ( do not over heat, just so its a comfortable & substantial level of heat on your hand ) i quickly placed it in an empty toilet roll tube (really quickly as the mouse loses heat real quick!) & parked it so that the end of the tube was right infront of the entrance of his hide. I then left him for what seemed like the longest wait & after about 10 mins I went back in & it had gone !
He has eaten like a pig ever since ! Oh, apart from the time I tried switching him to rat pups.. I soon switched back as I just wanted to get him back into a good feeding routine.
I always use the hairdryer trick though, it works everytime.
He is such a plesure to own -
Good luck with the feeding hon
