    non eaten mouse.

    my bp monty usually eats 2 mice a week, and this week, he isnt interested in one, the second one he wnt eat, my mom told me to take it to the creek and let it go, i cnt get myself to though, anyone else have this type of issue before i asked her if i could keep it as a pet, or take it bck to where we got it, i would have such a guilty conscious if i took it out there.

    You should not ever release captive bred/raised animals into the wild. Just keep it and feed it to your snake next time.

    I would recommend getting a 10 gallon aquarium with a mesh lid, water bottle and a small box of mouse food. A week goes by very quickly and next week you can just buy one mouse and try and feed 2 again. If this is a serious problem with your mother you should consider trying to convert your BP to frozen thawed.

    Probably not peanut butter much, I read they can choke on it sometimes.

    Rodents will eat most everything though. As a steady diet, you should make sure they get a good diet, but for a night or two, it's no big deal.

    Never ever dump a animal. Not a mouse, not a BP, not a dog or cat. Your mom should know better. It's good that you do.
