He did it! Lol it took him long enough, I was dangling that bugger for what seemed like 5 minutes until he started to look interested. He got real close and then BAM! Quick little guy he Is! I waited for the mouse to die and then shut the tub because I didn't want to bug him. Then waited a minute or two and opened it back up and he had just the feet and tail hanging from his mouth and I watched him finish it. Awesome!
see? you didn't need no stinkin' advice.
congrats on a successful feed!
