Well my male is a weird eater He's feed with frozen rats and I haven't seen him strike at his food for loooooong time.

Now days he likes his food laying on the floor so he just sniffs his head out and eats it. But sometimes that can last an hour or even up to almost 3 hours ! He will come out of his hide sniff it for some time then return back to hide, to decide a bit more and after a while he comes back out and repeats the same procedure once or many times till usually rat is gone
