"It is a male suboc from 2009"
...............................
.
You'll probably resolve it shortly...
.
For what its worth....
.
It's my feeling that SUBOCs are both scent and sight hunters, with emphasis on the latter.
.
I have a female blond that would only eat live fuzzies in her first 1/4 year.
I kept her in a plastic Shoe box with good ventilation (about 8"X12", but small.
.
For three months I couldn't get her to F/T. Drove me crazy.. Live Fuzzy = grab it; F/T fuzzy wiggled or not = nothing.
.
She seemed frightened of the F/T in close quarters (and probably of my heavy handedness of wiggling the mouse, relative to a live one.)
.
I moved her and her hide to a plastic container that had twice the floor area.
Gave her a week to settle in.
.
I tried wiggling a warmed F/T Fuzzy in the aspen at as far away as I could in the larger container (about 14"X20". She came out of her very secure hide, stalked the thawed mouse and grabbed it immediately from the tongs.
.
She's now in her third year, in a 3' X 2" cage, and does the same when a F/T adult mouse is wiggled in the aspen: she comes from across the cage, stalks it, then grabs it.
