Just an update. Tonight I had my second successful feeding I used a few techniques from this thread and he ate the fuzzy within 30 secs of me putting it in his tank.

First I thawed the fuzzy out by using a small tupperware container and putting hot water in it, the frozen fuzzy in a zip lock back and putting the piece of the bag with the fuzzy in the water and putting the top over it. I let it sit for about 20 mins like that then I took the ziplock bag out and ran it through hot water for about a min. Took the fuzzy out of the bag and put it on a napkin and put it on top of the tank and let it sit for 30 mins. I then took the fuzzy and put it back in the bag and ran it through hot water one more time for a few mins. Took it out dropped it in the tank and with a pair of tongs positioned the head inside his hide and wiggled it for a few secs. While I was closing the top he was striking at the fuzzy and then it slowly started pulling it in.

After his feast he once again was holding his head out at a 45 degree angle for a few mins before he disapeared again. I fed him a day early as I'm leaving out of town tomorrow afternoon and won't be back until Monday sometime. Hopefully this will help any other beginners. I'll begin holding him next week every other day... here's to more bites
