I put my new ball in a rubbermaid container that is opaque and have 2 hides(one on the cool side and one on the warm), the water bowl in the middle, and Aspen bedding. My question is I put holes in the top of the lid...is that bad? Should I just cover the holes with tape or buy a new one and put the holes in the side instead. Also the previous owner said that it would need to eat in 3-4 days but it's going on 5 and he has yet to even seem interested in the mouse I have. I am feeding the feeders you can buy at PetCo for 2 bucks.
