Cake finally took a F/T adult mouse today for the first time since his weird fluke right when I obtained him 5 months ago.
He never has any trouble locating the head and swallowing for a live mouse. But on the F/T today, he spent 20 minutes biting the butt and mid-section of the mouse, and then letting go. Thank God he didn't give up on it, and he eventually found the head.
I had heated the head quite a bit warmer than the body in particular FOR that head target, but I suppose that's not what he cared about. :\
So good news, he took the F/T prey, finally! Neutral news, he's taking so long biting the butt, I hope he doesn't give up next time. Any tips for this?
Also, how many feedings do you think he should do to test if he's consistent with F/T, before committing to buying a pack of jumbo mice online?
