I just fed him and he ate right away, I'm a little mad because the care sheet petco printed out for me said that they eat every three weeks, and the lady said thats how often they feed him, I did't want to wait for an answer so I called petco back and another lady said she feeds him every week. I just gave him food and he ate no problem. Good sign? I think so. Ansyways I'll go to wal mart and get that gage. Last night he was active and alert, and come morning he was back in his hide box. I dangled food outside his hide box and he ate it no problem. It said not to feed him in his cage but i was afraid if I handled him right away he wouldn't eat so I'll switch to a seperate box in a couple weeks.
