But the strike misses and flings the mouse behind him. I think "no problem" pick it up again with the tongs and try again, and now he wants nothing to do with it. What the $^%. I have no idea what else there is to do. This is the 3rd feeding attempt that has failed and everything is set up perfectly in his enclosure. He obviously is hungry by the strike attempt. So what is the problem.
I'm see this was an hour ago, so it may be too late for this. If you haven't tossed the food item, try dangling it in front of him again. I always move it around to appear like live prey, and it has never been turned down. The fact that he struck at it suggests that he's willing to eat, so it's not a total loss. If you have tossed it, give it a few days and try again. Now that you have temps and humidity worked out, just leave him alone for a few days, and then try feeding again.
