So I thawed out a mouse - I think I was just trying too late at night because tonight was different. First off, I noticed him cruising around his cage this late morning/early afternoon which was nice since I haven't seen him around for a few days. I thawed the mouse by placing it in a disposable tupperware and leaving it my room this afternoon for a few hours. Then I set the mouse under my heat light for about four minutes. Then I took my tongs and danced the mouse in front of his hide and as soon as I stopped the dancing he struck! I had the lights off so it took me by surprise and I fell over backwards and dropped the tongs... I was so excited my hand was shaking so i quickly grabbed my tongs and got the mouse back in my grips - two more strikes two more misses... or maybe releases but none of the subsequent strikes had the gusto of the first. I think I may have scared him out of eating tonight but I left the mouse outside his hide should he change his mind. At least he is hungry right? Is striking a good sign? Any advice would help I'm half excited half dissapointed.... in limbo... wierd....
