He's been acting odd since he ate, wondering if this was normal...


He's been hiding in the cave on the warm side of the tank. I currently still have all sides and top of the tank covered for the time being. In time I'll slowly open up the front only. (It's just in my bedroom so I'm the only one he'll really ever see. Low traffic.)

But now a lot of times when I peek into the tank by pulling back the corner of the paper, no matter how quietly, he rears up and stares and looks really tense. It reminds me of how he acted when he smelled the mouse at first.

Is he just feeling really defensive and 'on edge' since he's full and maybe can't move as fast? Is it because he can't see all of me so he doesn't know what it is? (He was fine with me before...)
