I used Zincubus hair dryer method and his recommendation to wait until night time. Freddy had his first meal (with me) tonight after getting him on Wed from breeder. I waited until midnight and he was already out of his hide coiled up and looking around. Rat fuzzy was 98f and he struck within 10 seconds. Thanks Zinc and thanks to the other members also with their tips and the feeding chart. I'm happy he ate.
