Thanks everyone.

Yeah, I got him 3 weeks ago on a Saturday and waited for the following Saturday to offer him his first meal. Next week I am going to give him the last two mice I have and then possibly switch him over to small rats per Karas suggestion which means I have a new excuse to go drive up to NERD to look around. Next week I am going to be a little more patient and try and get him a little more out of his hide but as long as he eats I am happy.
