Good luck OP! Like ckuhn003 (we got our bps from the same breeder near the same time) my little guy only ate if I left his mouse outside his hide and if I left the room completely. Generally he would eat within 2 hours after me leaving because "get out of my room mom!" It's only recently Tapioca struck for the first time so hopefully Axel will eat on his own within the next hour or two.
