Ty is eating strange

He ate a fuzzy on Jan 5. He refused 2 pinkies on Jan. 10 and again on Jan 11. I have handled him only twice since Jan. 5. I offered him a fuzzy today and he refused again. All of this has been in a separate feeding box.

So I decided to try and feed him in his Viv this evening. He was in is warm hide so I warmed up the fuzzy again and left it at his "doorstep". He has pulled it into his hide but has not eaten it. Should I leave it overnight? Take it out?
 
And temps are 83 on warm side and 72 on cool side. He actively goes between the two and drinks "normal" amounts of water.
 
It doesn't hurt to leave it. Is he blue? And if he refuses, you are just reinforcing his refusals by continuing to offer food every day. I'd just wait 5-7 days and try again.
 
No he is not blue. He shed at Christmas.
If the mouse is not gone by morning. I'll wait until next Sat to try and feed again.
 
I checked his Viv at midnight and he had moved the mouse and himself to his cold hide but had not eaten it. I woke up at around 2 for a drink and decided to check on Ty while up. Seems he had eaten the mouse and was still in his cold hide. I checked again this morning before going to work and I could see the bulge in his belly. I guess he likes lukewarm mice and prefers eating them in his cold hide. Strange. I guess my guy is going to eat in his Viv now.
