Gah. I'd almost be ready to trade you on that one. Issa is staring at the dead mouse waiting for it to get up and move again. He's been in strike position for several hours now (he hit it as soon as I got it on tongs into his cage..and then he worked a tiny bit of excess substrate out of his mouth. I usually feed outside of his cage, but this is an exception...I'd continue with more details, but I don't want to hijack the thread) Hopefully there will be no mouse by morning.
lucky, I guess you'll have to give him a week and then try feeding him again. Maybe next time he'll take it.
