non feeding male going into shed

[jtman]

Hello. My new het albino male Ivan had his eyes blue over 2 days ago. He didnt eat for me last week and I was wondering if i should bother trying to feed him today. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

If you feel like trying then go ahead, but it's fine if you want to wait until next week too. I go ahead and offer mine even while in shed on one, but on another I skip it because I know she most likely won't take it. I figured out who does and who doesn't like food during shed, by offering it multiple times before I figured that out. It's mostly up to you.

Well, I guess I'll give it a try. If he wont take the mouse again I guess the female will get a double helping 2 weeks in a row

Well, he bit at the mouse but i think it was just to get it away from him. I dont think that he would miss several times. It wasnt til the 3rd strike that the mouse got a clue its life was in danger. Man that mouse can jump! So the female (Pandora) ate both mice again! She is such a good eater. The mice dont last a minute with her. Should i worry about her getting 2 mice a week for 2 weeks in a row now? Thanks.
