The person I got my new BP from told me to try to feed a day or two after he arrived, but not to be surprised if he didn't take. I knew I didn't have amazing odds - he was previously on live and I was gonna try f/t, plus he'd only been here a short while. Well, I went out on a whim and thought I'd try to feed Snicket tonight.
So I got the mouse thawed, and then went to feed him. I saw something inside one of the hides (I assumed it was him), so I picked the other one up to get it out of the way... and lo and behold, he was actually in that hide, and I knew then and there that I probably freaked him out so he wouldn't eat. I put the mouse in anyway and he didn't seem interested at all. At this point, I was sure that I'd ruined any chance I had. I figured it couldn't hurt to leave it in there overnight anyway.
About an hour later I realized I hadn't put the extra clips back on the lid, so I went to do that.. and the mouse was gone, and he was in the hide.
So not only did he take his first meal here, he took his first f/t meal too!
