Adam,


You SOOOO Rock! I went to visit my best friend, and we stopped by the pet store that's by her, and picked up a live hopper. Got home around 10 this evening, Kashmire was out and about. Dropped hopper in with him, he checked it out a few times, and then I crumbled up a lot of newspaper, put it in there with him, and did what you suggested and walked away!

When I walked past and glanced towards the enclosure about 15 minutes later, he was readjusting his jaw. I just took the paper out to see if the hopper was anywhere to be seen, and he's nowhere. Kashmire is in his warm side hide now. I even checked inside the newspaper to make sure the hopper had not burrowed inside some of it. No hopper. Only place he could be is inside Kashmire!!! Woo Hoo!

Do you think I should continue to keep the newspaper in there for awhile, or was that mainly just for feeding.

I'm amazed how easy that was! Again! You rock! I will try to feed him again like this Friday before I go out of town for a week (boyfriend is staying so will be monitoring temps, providing clean water and watching humidity for him). If he refuses, I won't stress and will try again when I get home.

You don't know how relieved I am that he has now fed!

There will be no handling of Kashmire for at least another two weeks!

Now I just have to post a general topic about it!

Thanks again!
Robin
