if your husbandry is spot on i'd say it's probably hunger. he's not roaming, right?
I'm not entirely sure. He latched on in the middle and usually is able to make his way over to the head buy he struggled that time. The mouse happened to be a burster and he's very picky. If the mouse is bloody he won't take it if I re offer it and will lose interest. I do medium to adult size mice about once a week (I try not to do it on the same exact day everyday because I saw somewhere that making it unpredictable makes it so it's more like being out in the wild, I'm not sure how accurate that is, so let me know if I should be on a more strict schedule. And nope, he's just chilling out not trying to escape or anything. I'm thinking it was probably a combo of being a little chilly and hungry, I have another lamp on now to raise the temps a smidge and will try feeding him I think... Its also possible he pooped in his hide and now doesn't want to go in there but I dont want to stress him out and jostle him all around if I'm also going to be feeding him so I'll have to check after.
