Good afternoon fellow forum readers! I recently purchased a Male Albino on 12-15 to go with my Albino girl Medusa. His name is Perseus (I'll give an internet cookie to anyone who gets the connection to the names) and he's a nice high contrast albino with a cute little orange spot on his tail. He currently weighs in at 182 grams and was born on 6-28-13. I’ve got big plans with the two of them when they are older.

However, this little bugger is giving me a hard time eating. He’s in a 15 quart tub, with a small water dish and a hide box. I’ve offered him live food three times since I’ve purchased him, and all three times he will follow the mouse around and just stare at it. A few times they even touched noses. Here’s a pic:


As you can see, he just sits there and stares at him, and that mouse was in there for well over an hour today (under close supervision). So do you guys have any suggestions? I normally feed my brood on Fridays, so I plan on not touching him like I have been until then.

Any advice would be appreciated.
