I bought lucy just a few days ago. Yesterday was her first meal with me. I went to the store and bought a pinkie. I had mixed feelings on how to feed her. Ive read that putting the live mouse in the cage isnt a good idea, and then later read that it doesnt matter.
At first i tried putting her in a box with the mouse, she freaked out so i put her back in her cage. I decided to just put the pinkie in her cage in the end, noticing that the pinkie wasnt moving too much anyway.
After 10 mins of her slithering around i got bored of watching and went out for a while. When i returned, no trace of the pinkie! This morning i found the feces in one of her hide boxes, i didnt know shed digest it that fast. Overall, im really happy that she ate, i had my doubts : )

My only Q about this topic is, did i do it right? Should i approach it differently next time? Advice would be awesome.

Next question is a quick one. This morning i was checkin up on her and noticed a mite (or what i think is a mite) crawling along her belly. I pinched it off and checked her whole body for them, but found nothing.
Should i be concerned? Do i need to do something about it? Clean the cage?
Im not sure what mites do or how they live, so i feel i must ask.

I guess that sums it up for now.
Me and Lucy are thankful for any wisdom you have to pass down.
