I have a baby ball that we got about a month ago. He had been feed the day before we brought him home and we were told he eats live mice weekly. He refused to eat the next week and after doing research I realized he was in the process of shedding. The next week, I feed him the night after he shed, and he took the live mouse which was about 2-3 weeks old. He refused again to eat the week after but we had changed his living quarters in the mean time. This work I put him in his old living quarters ( new feeder tank) along with another 2-3 week old mouse. Within 2 hours he took the mouse but I don't know for sure that the young mice are big enough for him. Should I attempt to give him another small mouse tomorrow? Or do I wait another week until his next feeding?
Also, is there any way to switch a ball from live to f/t? So far he has refused to eat anything but live however it is a 1/2 hour just to get to the nearest feed store with mice. (I tried dancing it, putting it infront of his nose, and soaking in chicken broth.)
