bottle said to.. spray evenly over the entire body and to spray his cage.. i left it on him since it said nothing about wiping it off.. i fed him 3 days ago.. found white chalky stuff in his cage this morning.. i no thats norm but i ges that could be part of the reason for the bloating? it took him about a week to pass his last mouse so unless they hold it near the vent for 4 days thats not the prey item... been 11 hours hes still bloated under his hide is 90 degrees im letting it be that high to help move w/e it is out... other side of of the cage is 80 middle 85
