I had Alexander outside today and it was nice and warm for once so I decided defrost his last frozen mouse and give it another try. I actually let it defrost outside on a black storage bin so it took no time at all to get it warmed up. I set up his feeding box with a red shirt I wore to work one day and didn't care for, so it had my scent to it still. I then took a red flower and a sprig of leaves from his tank. I put him in first and bumped him in the nose a couple of times with it, which he did not like and hid his head.I closed the box and slid it in a spot where the ferrets sleep, for privacy...They were outside getting sun......And sometime within 15 minutes it was all gone. I'm surprised I didn't hear him belch.
Then I gently put him in his tank and he's snoozing away in his den now.He had a big day and a big meal too.
Now I can have the convenience and safety of frozen with out worry about him starving or getting hurt on live. I'll go to Petsmart after work tomorrow and pick him up a nice supply.
So someone said he could probably go onto adult mice now. Correct? I don't even see a bump inside him from eating Hopper size. And it was a nice fat white one too. Or should I stay with hoppers and feed him every 5 days for the time being.
