After dragging a rat fuzzy around Mr. K's cage for a while, and getting a couple of feeding strikes followed by immediate releases, i figured we'd give it a rest for a bit. Kierkegaard slid beneath his water dish: we left the rat fuzzy very close by, along with a mouse pink just in case he thought the fuzzy too large. Just to add a little stimulus, my partner Kathy added a couple drops of tuna oil (oil from canned tuna) to each f/t prey item. We then covered the cage.
I arrived home from work the next day to discover that my apartment stunk to high heaven of rotting fish. When I opened K's cage I discovered a rather discolored mouse pink and some very, very malodorous paper towels. I also found a rather contented and prominently bulging Kierkegaard basking in his warm hide. The rat fuzzy was nowhere to be found. I cleaned the cage, covered it, and left him alone.
Now if we can turn this into a weekly or biweekly event I'll be psyched.
