Great news. Shadow just ate 3, 1 day old pinks, a 1 day chick thigh and a small silverside all on his own grabbed from my 10 inch feeding tongs. I didn’t try to pick him up or weigh him before or after so as not to disturb any possible feeding response.
He had been without food for 12 days because of the shed, so I was hoping a little hunger would help my effort. I let him rest yesterday but he was out doing what looked to me like looking for food this morning. He was interested in the prey and when I accidentally bumped his nose doing the “prey dance” he grabbed the first pinkie (I had rubbed its nose on the fish— the other items were not scented). Then he just gobbled!
I’ll weigh him after he poops. We are off to the races!
