YES! THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH ! Here's the question:
I've been reading a lot in the 1 1/2 weeks that I have him, but the one question that I cannot find an answer for is this:
Should I offer him food after having refused one meal (a week ago) AND while he is apparently starting a shed?
His eyes are milky. To the touch, he feels less solid than he did a week ago. He willingly let me take him out of the tank yesterday and he just rested in my arms. He seemed content but not inquisitive as he normally is.
My hunch is, I should not offer hopper rat or anything until he completes shed, but I also do not want to starve him unnecessarily.
Can someone please help me? He does look healthy all other ... I've been keeping his tank very clean and been taking him out almost every day.
