Thanks man. Yeah I might just try the one smalls and see how he acts. If its like today, he might need more or I might need a hook lol. He is definitely not shy. When I walked in the room, he immediately poked his head up over his hide and came forward lol. Then when he saw nothing yet, he went back and sat with his head on top of the hide. Then when I opened the door after the rat was thawed and removed his warm hide, he again came shooting forward following the hide lol all the way up to the door opening. I kind of had to push his face back while using the hide as a shield/battering ram lol. And when he finally saw the rat, it was game over. He went gung ho and grabbed it and wrapped it. The pictures are of him after holding it a few mins lol.

And yeah I kind of want him to stay under 10' but I don't want to underfeed him to achieve it, not saying you are but you know what I mean.
