wont eat,

[samurai]

My corn has never refused a meal before but i just tried to feed him and he will not eat it. I even danced it infront of him for 10 minutes. his red is looking a little pink so i think he is going into a shed but he has eaten just prior to shedding before, i left the mouse in his enclosure, my question is how long should i leave it in there for before it starts to go "bad" if hes not going to eat it i would like to freeze it for after his shed.

Thanks for any help,

Even if sometimes they eat during a shed, it doesn't mean they always will. I would remove the prey item now and simply wait until after he sheds.

Alright thanks for the help, whats the best way to freeze it?

if its already been frozen and thawed than you cant (shouldnt) freeze it (for the same reason we dont eat re-frozen meat)... if its never been frozen before throw it in a bag and put the bag in your freezer (i use multiple bags as it is sorta wierd knowing there are frozen mice sittting next to your food!!

Hahaha sounds good to me, i killed it just before i fed it so it should be good to freeze, thanks
