I bought a burm about 3 weeks ago.He doesnt seem interested in food at all i gave it a mouse the first week but he never showed interest so i tried a fuzzy and he ate that after it crawled around his cage a couple days.ive tried a mouse/fuzzy for the past week and a half but he isnt interested.i know im getting worried a bit early but everything i read said they are extremely aggresive and i dont think these are good eating habits is there anything i can do to increase its appetite?
thanks

What is he housed in? What are the temperatures? If you keep him at temps between 86-90 he should develop a healthy appetite. High humidity is a good idea too. Target and walmart sell good digital hygrometers that tell you the exact relative humidity. They are only about 18 bucks and are well worth the price. They are also a thermometer and clock and show daily extremes. If you have these temps and humidities already and he still doesn't eat then don't offer him food every day. He may just be stressed. Give him a hide box and offer him food once a week at best. Mice are young burms favorites usually.
