SB, you should see how chilled Mirkey is now. (Except for dinner time.) I've a new 3ft viv for Taggart and a hand-knitted one for Wee Woody. Mirkey has been moved out of his RUB and into the glass tank. He decided to re-arrange things to suit himself. Howked up the sensors for the thermometer and porpoised through the chips like a ruddy dolphin. 
It didn't take him long to find the foam sky-bar I rigged up. He's been coiled up on it and hasn't budged all day. I'll just taken some pics and will post if there is a good shot. I will also need to check his length, he seems to have stretched since I got him 2 1/2 months ago. |

SB, how do you feed Kelloggs? Do you just dangle the mouse in front and let him take it?
Try gentle 'teasing' with a jiggle and twirl. Trail the mouse just out of reach and watch for the "S" neck as a pre-strike sign. Hold on to the tail and have a bit of a tug-of-war. Keep hold of the tail after he takes it and 'twang' the mouse tail like you would with a rubber band. That's what I do with mine and Mirkey is spectacular with his kung-fu dragon strike. (See the Arm Wrestling Movie.) Taggart shouts 'Itsanuddamudda' and even Wee Woody does not a bad job of winding up the mouse.  |
