!!!!!!!!!

Upon further inspection, keep that thing warm and humid with access to lots of water and food!! It looks dehydrated and underfed. Hopefully it'll come around. With TLC, is SHOULD be ok.

Update

Well it took 3 attempts but he ate a fuzzy one week after I brought him home.

I have never wittnesed a ball eat before so I don't know if this is normal.
He constricted the mouse and pushed it into his mouth with his body...OK that's normal...then when it was in the back of his mouth / front of his neck he lifted his head and neck straight above himself and waived his head around seemingly using gravity to help swallow his prey. This went on for a few minutes...it was very funny but I didn't know if I should be worried or not. The fuzzy was not quite as big around as his body but his neck is significantly smaller than his stomach.
