Hi guys
Just wanted your opinions on an idea I had. I was thinking of making a sort of snake hunting maze I haven't thought much about how I'm going to do it yet but I'll think about that when/if I do.
My main thought with this was to give some more stimulation to my little guy by setting up some tubes and walls ect and drag a mouse through it to lay a sent for him to follow. Giving him a sort of simulated hunting experience with a thawed mouse as he always goes into super hunting mode once he has eaten.
Just wondered what people's thoughts on this were or if anybody had tried it before. Also please feel free to tell me I have too much time on my hands :-)

| Good idea, I have done it once for Twid, though not as complicated, just a couple of cardboard tubes, and dragged the mousie through. He was very keen :-) |

| Well I spent most of this afternoon getting busy with cardboard, scissors and a hot glue gun. I have a burnt finger and a prototype snake maze to show for it just letting the glue dry and fumes disperse. I'm gonna put him in it with no mouse first just to let him have an explore. |
