Just FYI.... I switched to adult mice (pet store outta rat pups) and he has eaten twice "normally." He struck and moved around to the head and started and ate just fine and no he didn't choke...LOL @ me.

BUT.... he won't eat in anywhere but his own cage. He doesn't strike at me at other times when I reach in or anything like that. Is is REALLY a problem to feed him in his tank? I try every time to get him to eat elsewhere but he is only interested in escaping and wants nothing to do with the mouse until I move him back in his cage and if I offer it there, he goes right after it within seconds.....
