it doesnt seem like he is trying to eat, cause he just strikes then lets go... and after the first time this happened he was still ready to pounce and stretching out his jaw and stuff, then just didnt eat. the mice are small enough.

i have heard that when they refuse food to wait a week, but i am wondering if i still should in this situation?

he is 1.5 or 2 years and the person i got him from was feeding him only 1 pinky once every two weeks so i really want to make sure he is nourished!
