Hey, just a quick one, gonna try scenting a small for Holly, see if that tempts him into feeding (he ate a fluff about a month ago, but nothing apart from that for the last 4 months) and was wondering if people have more luck with Tuna Brine or Marmite when scenting?
I can try both, but I'd rather try the most effective first, as he tends to stress out so I'd have to leave him for a week or two until I try the next one.
He is losing weight, which I expected, as he is/was getting chubby, but I'd rather he didn't lose more, and a fluff for a large adult corn ain't nothing!
Also, Marmite, do I just dunk the head of the mouse in some and leave it, or do I wipe it off or what?
Thanks all!  |

He's an adult, so no fluffs for him, I only offered the one he took as a joke lol, but I have brained pretty much most of what I've offered him. A knife through the head and a squeeze to expose some brain, pretty grim. Any chicks have had the head chopped off and some blood squeezed out, mice squeezed for bloody noses, all the 'natural' stuff. |

| Well, no joy when I offered it to him, he came up, sniffed it and then jumped back like it bit him as usual! Left it in there on top of his hot hide for now. |
