Feeding Pacman Small Mice Worries~

yeah pinky mice.but there are a few reason why i dont feed pinky mice.for starters,pinky mice is not always available,need wait for certain period only the shop i go to sells it.also i enjoy seeing them hunt them.XD

How About Fuzzy Mice?those that eyes arent open yet but can walk around already?

ps:also another question.when i get my green fantasy pacman it was bright green colour.now it turn like Dirty Dark Green Colour.i am guessing its because it just follow the colour of the terrain.which i use coco fiber.so i am asking here if is there any maybe brighter terrain i can put aside from Coco fiber? or Coco Fiber is the best choice among the lot?

also sometimes when i feed my pacman Cricket in his tank..he sometimes miss his target and end up licking a bunch of coco fiber.i see his tougue covered with coco fiber which he later try to remove it with his hands.if he do swallow some of the coco fiber.will it be fatal in the long run??
i do sometimes take it out from the tank for feeding,but from what i notice,everyday i take him out.he refuse to eat and keep jumping around and tries to escape.stress of new environment i guess just why i prefer to feed it in his tank,since he just attack his food.

You can use the fuzzies as long as their eyes are closed. Mice are difficult to digest for amphibians and adding hair to that makes it that much slower. Sometimes mice make them a little constipated so you have to watch out for that as well. He will change color as he grows and change only a couple shades to several different shades so don't worry about that.

Coco fiber is what you want to keep him on. If he ingests it while trying to feed it won't really do any harm unless its a chunk that isn't loosened. It is easy for them to pass. When feeding him crickets break the jumping legs off of them so they are easier for him to catch and this way he won't ingest very much substrate. You can also tong feed him or use forcepts. This way he doesn't ingest any at all.

He won't feed when you put him in a seperate container because he feels stressed and doesn't feel comfertable out of his home so I would just feed him in his home.

That doesn't really help. Was it like a log or jelly bean? Or was it a thick puddle?
