Still no sign of Monty I know its only been 12 days, but that feels like forever. I have a hide with a heat pad out, and also a water dish. It doesn't seem like he has been going to his water dish at all. How long can he go without a supply of water?

I have stripped the basement from top to bottom but there is no indication of him anywhere. I wouldn't know where to begin upstairs because there is just too much to cover up there.

I have also tried the dead mouse in a coke bottle and as far as I know nothing happened with that. Is there a way to do this with a live mouse? I feel that live bait would be more successful in getting the little guy out. Its been 3 weeks since he has eaten so I am sure he is a little bit hungry.
