My bp wont eat the last mouse for a week now. He is in his hide and act very different. Last night he went to drink and I thought YES...Then I went to see him and he "jumped" to his hide. His skin looks very dry. Could this behavour be relating to going to shed?

Check his humidity, he still should not look really "dry" even when going in to shed.

None of mine like to get caught drinking, they all jump back when you open the tub if they are doing that.

Not eating could be because of a shed cycle. One week is nothing to worry about.

Double check you husbandry and try to feed him again next week. Keep on the lookout for a pinkish belly and cloudy eyes indicating a upcoming shed.

Thank you. How to increase humidity?

Check your temps hot/cool sides be sure to kep your humidity where it needs to be, and you'll be fine knock humidity up to 70-80% to make ease of the shed process. So wat while in shed some don't but no big deal either way as long as husbandry is good.
