Hi. I have a young Gtp that has been in my collection for a little more than a month now and he has not given me any problems eating up to his last meal. Prior meals were very simple and just involved me dangling a pinky and he was good to go. But during his last meal he was very hesitant in taking a pinkie and it ended up taking a few days of work. Its been a little more than a week since that meal, and i was wondering if any of you can help me entice the little guy to eat.
Last meal I:
warmed the mouse up in hot water
used tongs
and a few days earlier dumped a little bit of mouse thaw water in his water bowl (old buddys trick)

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Steve
