| theres no such thing as a silly question,i use a pyrex dish for mine,but anything will do as long as its about a inch deep and big enough for him to fit him self in,i have started feeding mine a small rat weaner every 10 days or you could do 1-2 large mice a fortnight. |

No, that doesn't sound right- I agree with Lee. A larger meal less often is better than little and often.
I use similar to Lee for the water bowl too. Wilko's do a massive lasagne dish for £2.99 and they are perfect for them.  |

| 2 large mice or a small rat weaner every 10-14days would be best i think.He might not take the rats but try anyway and you can always vary it. |

| just dont handle or feed him for a week,keep changing his water daily and rub your hands over things but stay alert to where he is.He will soon learn that your not a threat,my adult mexi was like that when i girst got him,was fine until i put him in his new viv when i got home and he got all defensive,he should calm down. |
