Got some pictures of him eating! Flash off so as not to bug him, of course. I took out his hide and branch just to make sure things were going well, next time I'll leave him alone a little more now that I know he is eating properly in his new environment.
The initial grab: once he snatched to mouse (so quick!) he sat like this for nearly five minutes. I texted my animal manager and she said he likes to make sure it's dead first.Did I mention he's only ever had f/t mice?
Sorry this one's kind of blurry, but he twisted around and started chewing. Didn't straighten his neck out so he could swallow yet of course.
Getting there...
Most of the way down...
Yay!
He stayed in is hide for nearly an hour after, and is just now poking his nose out again. Should have plenty of time to digest before his vet visit on Tuesday.
edit: Forgot to mention the thing behind his tank is the collar we put on the cat this last Christmas. Momo was getting a little too curious, and putting that back there has dissuaded him from going back again. He hates it for some reason...
