So, first of all, thank you to everyone that helped me get sam eating.

Tonight, i conducted a mini experiment. I thawed out a large mouse, offered it to sam, who proceeded to look at me as if i had lost my mind.

Took said mouse, used the hairdryer on it for maybe 2 minutes ( i didn't have a watch) offered the mouse again, and in less than 3 mississippis sam had struck the mouse and proceeded to "kill" it.

So anyone who is having trouble with f/t mice, i'm telling you, try the hairdryer, it has made life so much easier for me
