Tapioca seems to be settling well and I'm trying to give him as much space as possible. I did try to feed him on the Thursday Garrick recommended, but I was not as successful (warmed it with a CHE until 100 and everything). I half expected this as it was only day 3(he was certainly interested!). To be honest I probably could have left the mouse overnight with him and he may have eaten! Since the morning of I noticed he was sticking his head out of his hide smelling where the mouse was. So I'm kicking myself because I tossed out the mouse too soon.


Since then he's been poking his head out of his hide at night but staying hidden all day long. He's still pretty timid whenever he sees us. I've decided to wait on offering him food again until this Wednesday or Thursday as I wasn't comfortable with Garrick's suggestion to try again in 2-3 days. I felt that would be pushing things too soon and too fast with increased chances of food refusals.


At the very least I know Tappy will definitely be hungry on my next attempt. Handling I think I'm going to wait until he's eaten 2-3 meals.

How's your little guy doing?
