Cursed?

[Reinz]

Not sure if anybody still reads these threads, but here's an update. Got rats and XL hamsters from Rodent Pro and thawed them in cold water. Offered one to each, since the Variegata has eaten jumbo rats, but seems smaller now after not eating for so long. My jungle was not interested in food, but the Variegata was more than usual. I was flailing this hamster around so much trying to simulate it being alive, which got him excited as he went to sniff it once, but no go.

Anyway, this morning I woke up to my Jungle doing something I haven't seen him do since I got him and around the time he ate. He was up on the glass just posted up. Picture below. Since he just denied food, would you all wait to feed him, or try again with him being on the glass like that? He has since moved, but just wanted to see what you all thought. Happy Sunday.

When my Carpets are in this position I have learned to not even bother offering food. Even if they are “scheduled” to eat or past due. It’s as though all they have on their mind is coming out of the cage or just watching me, or just plain o’ herp derping.

There have been times when they are in hunt mode all day, so I defrost the rats. By the time I get them ready they snapped out of hunting mode and only have a jail break on their mind. The rats are never wasted though, there’s always someone in the room who will eat it.
