    Yay! You cannot rush weight gain...they can only digest so fast, & will regurgitate & be UNABLE to eat for several weeks IF that happens (in other words, a set back!).

    What size mouse did you feed? Best to wait NOT less than 5 days (if fuzzy) and 7 days is best (if a hopper). The bigger the prey, the longer digestion takes. Easy does it.
