Well the good thing is that his food was cut up into small pieces and that the one piece of carefresh that I saw on his food was very tiny if he did ingest it...he may have worked it off while he was working the food into his mouth. The next piece of food he carried into his little bush and ate it in the bush...I watched him eat it. Then I took the rest of the food and put it on a dish on top of a paper towel like I usually do because I was just getting too worried. Like I said, next time I will just put him in a feed tank and feed him with the hemostats on paper towels, since he seems to like being fed by hemostats. I think I'm going to go and buy a 10 gallon to use for a feed tank...I need to have one for my female eastern for feeding too.
