feeding problem

[rdoyle]

Ok here is the question. I have try 2 F/T mice on my 43 inc long BP he has not even looked at it. What I want to know should I try live mouse. He has not eaten 3 weeks. He shed last night. I am new to feeding Live.

More info does he always eat FT for you? Some of mine take a couple days to wanna feed after a shed cycle.

3 weeks is nothing to worry about especially coming off a shed.

I have had him for 2 weeks. the guy I got him from said that he eats both

Try a live one, did the snake just go off feed, or did you just get it?

[llovelace]

ok, if he doesn't take live with the next feed, leave him completely alone for 7 days, just change out water & spot clean, then try feeding live. He ust may need some time to settle in.

Alright let him be for a couple days and try a live mouse a little smaller than its girth( widest part of its body) Be patient it is also getting use to its new surroundings don't hound it drop the mouse in turn off the light and get out for twenty minutes.

What is your husbandry like?

Enclosure size?
Temps? How do you measure them?
Hides?
Humidity? How do you measure it?
Have you handled your BP?

OK thanks for the info

If he will supposedly take both, I would try a small rat that weighs about 60grams...

Well right now no is selling any small rats. Localy i mean I dont want to order a order of small rats and he not eat them. I just talk to the other owner and he feed him live.
