Eddy ate tonight(last time he ate was on Friday). I put him in his box with 2 pinkies and left him alone for a minute, then I got a call to get my kids from grandpa's. I left and we were gone about 2 or 3 hrs. When I came home I found 1 dead mouse and one pissed off corn. I opened the lid and he drew back like he was going to strike. I ignored him and turned the box on it's side in his cage like I always do to let him out. Instead of crawling out he bit me(didn't hurt, but I let go of the box). From me jerking the box, the mouse fell and hit him on the head, then into the bedding. Before I could get ahold of it, Eddy had it in his mouth.
There's 2 things I'm concerned with:
1. Him ingesting some bedding that was on the mouse. and
2. The mouse being in there for a few hours before he ate it and the fact he showed no interest in it till it hit him in the head.
Should I worry? What signs should I watch for to make sure he's ok?
