    new bp

    I'm getting a 3 or 4 year old bp tomorrow and have a couple ?'s He is comming with his enclosure so I'm hoping this will help to keep his stess level lower but was wondering how long I should let him settle in before I start handling. I was also curious as to how long I should wait before I try his first feeding. Thanks in advance!

    Let him settle in for at least a week before handling or offering food.

    What they said, some balls i have read are affected by new furniture and surroundings so even though he is in the same enclosure he the exterior surroundings might freak it out.
