I believe Prism actually ate the fuzzy we left in with her last night

We've moved her into a bigger enclosure (as we needed her smaller one for a new addition lol!) and I think she likes it! We were supposed to leave her a feed overnight a few weeks ago but found she was deep in blue so left her... as she'd then missed a feed or 2 we tried to feed her normally and ended up assisting last week so last night it was time to try overnight again. I wanted to see where she was and I lifted the moss out of her cold hide to find her curled up at the bottom so thought - what the heck, I dropped the fuzzy on top of her - gently - left the moss out and put the hide lid back on. Lo and behold this morning I checked the hide... no Prism and no mouse either!! She's all curled up in her warm hide now and I think there's a bump there but not certain as don't want to disturb her more than a tiny peek.

We're going to wait a couple of days, then get her out and have a good search of her viv to ensure it hasn't just been moved somewhere, but I'm feeling really hopeful as she doesn't tend to go in her warm hide all that often normally, and I don't see how she could have accidentally moved the mouse out of the cold hide yay!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! You go, Prism! :D Major congrats, this is fantastic news! I am keeping fingers and toes crossed that you won't come across the fuzzy elsewhere, but I really think you got it this time. It's so wonderful that she's doing so good. :)

That's fab news! Hopefully she's eaten it and not hidden it, but it does sound positive

Woot, great news! Generally they don't move food around other than in the process of eating it, so this looks good!

Thanks everyone, let's hope she keeps it up!

And in other news, I tubbed Hoggy last night - wasn't all that hopeful as it never worked with Prism - and he ate too!!! This is the BEST WEEK!!!!

So I'm guessing feeding tubs have moved up on the approved list? ;-) Great news!!!

By tubbing I meant put him in a tiny box with the mouse overnight - didn't work for Prism but worked for the hog :)

Prism ate again last night :D Hubby didn't even check the hide this morning, he was convinced it was a one-off and she definitely wouldn't eat again and he'd just be disappointed, but I had more faith that she has indeed turned the corner, and nothing there and she's curled up in the warm one again, phew! :)
