As you were..disreguard my last post. I found a few "multiplefeeder threads and they all said "as soon as he gets the first one down" so I offered it to him, and BOOM! 2 mice down. Now to figure out how to train him to eat them head first... His response is so amazing, I'm beginning to think he'll take F/T without a problem as long as I heat it up properly, which is a relief since he keeps hitting these from the wrong end, I was worried an appropriate sized live rat would injure him. I think I'll place an order for medium rats on Tues (pay day for us disabled vets..) and practice my "zombie rat marionette" skillz....
Also, I think I'll change bedding to newsprint or paper towels. I'm uncomfortable with the amount of aspen chips he just took with that mouse....
