Umm no cause the tub would be 70 degrees. I do have a uth from zoo-med that is 4watts and 60Hz. Not sure if this would be good. I guess I might waste more money on a tub that I will only use for 1 week.

Maybe Im not being clear, I did write that out of order. I thawed the hopper in warm water for 5 minutes, took him out, dried him with a blow drier. Dangled it in front of him for 5 minutes, then left the mouse in there overnight.

I have everything set up fine. The only thing on all websites guidelines that I am not following is two identical hides. I have seperate ones.

No I have not been bothering it the whole time. Ive handled it maybe 3 times for when I first got it, then seeing how active it was a day or two later, and changing the newspaper today, because it deficated some white stuff showing that he might still have something in his body, meaning the problem isnt definitly my setup, he just might not be hungry.

Im trying to avoid the whole tub at all costs. Ill go look for one around the house. I dont have two hides, I might just use tissue paper boxes. Then stick the water bowl and the UTH on and put him in the basement.
