I have had great success with geting him all settle when switched hime from aspen to paper towels ( it seems he does not like aspen as he gets on top ofthe hide not in it like he does on paper towels)
He has been taking small meals for me and letting it all out normally (which was my main worry since the surgery was actually into the vent area. Well as of last night he took a adult asf ( took him a couple tries to ail it but he got it and ate it with no problem ) So I now have a non breeder ( prolly ) cinniamon bp lol which is great cause if I ever get into doing educational events He a totally laid back about being handled, I think he really enjoy the interaction with kids. lol
