yeah he's been a little confusing. After i first got him he fed great for a few weeks. The past few weeks he doesn't want to eat it, but he'll sure kill it. i tried putting hides back in, and covering the enclusure. He has also been amazing when it comes to handling. I use the hook to get him out of the tank, and from there he is just a little teddy bear. The feeding is the only problem i'm encountering.
