A couple other members had mentioned that he could probably eat a size bigger based on previous pics of him, but I bought the fuzzies, to get him eating for me on something more familiar, since I wasn't sure he would eat anyways. He was still wandering around a bit after the second one so I ended up giving him a third and will call it good there since it took him a little to follow up his bite and constrict with actual swallowing. He's in his hide now.
I'm using tongs and holding the mouse by the foot/tail, whichever I can grab on to since my tongs are a little crooked, lol. He doesn't actually lunge at the fuzzy until I wiggle it around on his substrate, but once he starts getting into position, I'll see if I can't persuade him to bite with it dangling in the air a little.
Thanks for the advice, guys.![]()
