Sort of on topic...I'm just excited cause I got my ball to take a f/t for the first time. He has refused up until this point. Nothing I tried worked. He is normally shy so, I left a frozen mouse in a bag with a small (5gal) heatpad under the mouse. Throughout the afternoon I'd catch him poking his head out of his hide with his tongue going nuts looking in the direction of the mouse. When he decided to emerge this evening from his hide he went straight underneath the area of the warming mouse. I grabbed my tongs and "hopped" the mouse a bit in front of him. He followed its every move and even trembled a bit (he was so excited) He grabbed it and sucked it down....ahh..today was a good day!
