He is starting to come around. I have noticed him urinate twice. We have also moved up to small mice in the feedings. He still won't take them on his own, he prefers cuddling over eating unfortunately. He has been a lot more active, moving to 4-6 diff spots in his cage each day. Not as active as our ball or rtb, but still getting there. He has small folds on his skin still from being dehydrated I am assuming. I'm just praying for him to surprise me with some aggression or something to get him to start eating on his own. It's been 4 force feedings so far, 3-4 days apart. He is getting stronger, fighting more during the feedings.



His cage temp stays at 90 under the light, on the end with his water dish, and 86 on the end with his hide box. Should I move this around, hide on the warm end? I am using this way since the cage is only 10 gals and my humidity in my bedroom stays low, I like a refrigerator :P I've been handling him the day before his feedings, letting him roam for a few hours.
