Hey, thanks for all the help. The petstore did say he was eating live mice. I am trying to feed him a live mouse just to verify that he will in fact eat. My plan is to try to switch to f/t later. So even though it has been 8 days since he last ate, I should still wait another 5-7 days before I put that mouse back in there? Should I try the same mouse or get a different one? Thanks again all.
