Well I think he just ate. I say think because I was dangling his meal near the entrance to his hide (which faces away from the glass to make him feel more secure) and I'm pretty sue I felt him take it but I could have just dropped it in my nervousness. Either way I'm leaving him alone for a few hours beore I check (I don't want decomposing baby rat odour in our living room!).

Update later, I'll be very happy if he hs eaten with so litle fuss.!
