I recently bought a young BP from a seller, and I wonder how well he was looking after it, since immediately after getting it home and giving it water, he started drinking it, and as soon as I offered it a hopper, he attacked and ate it. That was about two weeks ago, and I offered it another hopper Saturday. He ignored it when it crawled around, sniffing, so I killed it and laid it his enclosure. He showed a bit of interest, but soon ignored it, so I had to throw it out before it started decomposing.

I took him out of his aquarium and put him in a round plastic container where there won't be any danger of him ingesting his chipped bedding while eating, and I did that again. No luck. After a while I put him back in his aquarium and put a flat dish in, and I laid the mouse on top of it and left. After a few hours he had gone back inside his hide spot without touching the mouse.

I don't know if two weeks is not long enough to wait between feedings, especially after just getting him, or if it should be soon enough.
