I do see a problem other than the third poster, why did you pull the mouse out? Let him do his thing, you could harm him by pulling it out. some bps like to take their time eating, if you were worried about the size you shouldnt have let him try to eat it again. Sorry about the bark, i used to have aspen and changed to paper towels just so this wouldnt happen after a few feedings of me picking aspen off of the mouse once he had it in his grip.
