First Fuzzy....

[marty.warwick]

...And Travis took it like a man!

I had the common worry when moving up in size: Is it too big? So to be safe I picked the smallest (But not that much smaller..) sliced the back a few times, and he sniffed a lot then grabbed by the fuzzy's neck and held for about 2 minutes.. He then moved to the head and worked it down
I left him for a while and didn't take any pics - With a larger prey item in his mouth I think he felt more vunerable.. After 10 minutes I catch him slipping out of the tub and under his hide (I feed in a tub lined with kitchen roll.. in the viv, and try to watch in case he moves the prey onto the bark - which he doesn't bother) I find this much less stressful for him as when he's done he knows where to go..

Anyway sorry about the essay but yeah now Trav is .. burrowing around a bit,
And I'll be on the lookout for any regurges in case it was slightly too big.

Congrats on the upgrade! Its so neat when they take their first fuzzy. My little Skizzard just started eating fuzzies a few feedings ago. You should really see him start to grow now that he's eating fuzzies.

It was very cool to see him working on it, I can't help but think he thinking 'Finally, a challenge!'

And to think, this is the first of many popsicle stick-free mice :grin01:
