I tried last night, no dice! Showed no interest in it at all, I dimmed the lights, waited for him to poke his head out his hide (but not come out), dangled in front of the hide with not a lot of movement other than a slight tremor ... Nothing

Taken out, warmed again with the hair dryer, he had disappeared back into his hide, kept warming and retrying for about 10 minutes and he just was not interested at all.

I left the rat on some decoration that I have in the hide and covered the viv with a black fitted sheet to try and give him some privacy. Checked after an hour and all he had done was knocked the rat off and was sitting on it himself. Left in the Viv overnight, nothing.

I have an idea for my next attempt, which I'm going to try over the next few days, which is to feed him when it's completely dark and we've all gone to bed (he is currently situated in the living room - I wonder if the noise is putting him off).
