Thanks for the info on the tape, it doesn't seem to become detatched from the glass, however I will look around(I think I have some blue painters tape), I'm just afraid he will get tangled in the wires or bite them. He doesn't seem to care for his hide yet preferring the dark corner of the terrarium. He did poke his head in but he came right back out. I belive he had a pee as he was curled up in the corner when I went to walk my dog and when I came back he was active and moving and there was a wet spot where his cloaca was so I took out the area and replaced it with some more fiber from the other end of the tank and he seems to be curled back up there. I did put my hand in flat and he crawled right over on top of it but I didn't pick him up. I also stroked his back and he didn't seem to care but if I got too close to his tail he jerked it away. That's all the touching I'll be doing for a few days atleast(besides what is required for general maintenance). I figure I'll offer a f/t fuzzy rat on Thursday night as I don't see any harm in trying.
