well, after being suddenly picky and shy about eating over the winter, and then finally fasting completely for many weeks, my male BP *might* have broken his fast today finally.

he's seemed interested in food, but when he would get right up next to it he'd change his mind and go hide again.
He was feeding on F/T small rats and that's what I have been offering. Actually I have been offering ASF F/T for a few weeks to see if that enticed him. No success.

So today I was feeding Rio the baby boa his mouse fuzzies, and I thought 'well, maybe Augie the BP will eat something that can't possibly be intimidating in any way"
I dangled a fuzzy in front of him and POW it was gone in a flash.
I fed him a second one 10 minutes later.

He is still looking for more, but I figure I will let him digest that as a fast-breaker and then try a small rat next week to see if he's been appetized.

Question: If he won't take the rat, is it at all useful to keep feeding fuzzies? He hasn't lost any significant weight. I suppose if he won't take the rat next week I could try picking up some adult mice to see if he's turned back into a mouser for some reason....what do you think?
