Last night was feeding time. I took one look at Wiggles and I knew there was going to be trouble. When I brought the warmed up mouse into the room, he was already surfing the glass. I managed to open his enclosure without being bitten. Picked up the mouse with my tongs, but before I could turn around, he launched himself out of his enclosure. It's a good thing it sits on the floor or the fall might have hurt him. I tried to lure him out from under the enclosure but failed. He crawled behind the bookcase, his favorite spot. I tried to lure him from there, but gave up and decided to wait him out. I didn't want to feed him out of his enclosure anyway. After a short while, he came prowling out, still looking for the mouse. With gloved hands, I scooped him up and returned him to his enclosure where he ate readily from the tongs.
I don't know what it is. Maybe, having settled in, he's becoming more bold. Maybe, it's the warmer weather, but his food drive is definitely getting stronger.
