Well Mufasa has been a perfect eater since X-mas now. But I never got him to eat off the tongs. If he was out when I fed him ihe would kinda fear strike, I would drop it then eat it. But he did this without ever doing that classic wrapping motion. If he was in his hide, I would just put it infront of his hide and he would eat it in 20 mins or so. But last night he finally ate straight off the tongs, wrapped it, and ate it. My corn is another story, he is an awful winter feeder, I htink I have to go back to mice w/ him. How many of your BP's eat right off the tongs?
