So I tried to feed him a fuzzy today, and it did not go well. I've been feeding him almost exclusively f/t pinkies, but the place I got the fuzzy from only had them live, and I figured it would be good for him to have a live one occasionally. Long story short, he was scared [bleep]less of it and wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. I feed him in a separate container, which is a medium sized critter carrier, and he wanted nothing more than to just keep trying to get out of the cage. I make a point of taking him out of his cage and holding him before putting him in there, and he usually does alright with it, but he wanted nothing of this fuzzy.



Since he didn't take to it, I threw it in the freezer. I'm thinking about trying it again tomorrow with it thawed. Would that be a bad idea? Could he really be that attached to pre-killed prey that he just wouldn't want a live one? Should I maybe give him the two remaining pinkies that I have? I really thought he would be interested in live prey but apparently not. I fed him last Saturday by the way.



Feedback would be GREATLY appreciated here, since I'm so new to this, and I definitely don't want to do anything to upset Henry!



If there's any other information I can add, please just let me know.
