    New BP owner Need help!:/
    Hi everyone, dont know if this is the right place to post but at the moment im freaking out, so bare with me lol. OK so this is my second time owning a BP, and never had this problem; I have a baby ball and today he decided to eat some of the bedding (was not feeding). This is my first time using eco earth and I have no idea what to do! I called my friend (who sold me the snake) and he said as long as he has fresh water he should be fine. Although i dont feel the same way as it appears that my ball is "annoyed" or trying to get it out. Please help and thanks in advance!! :D

    What is your setup like? If you have just acquired the snake it may need some time to settle in.

    I have had him for a week and a few days. Right now I have the bedding, a hide and water bowl. He is also in shed, and very active right now as we speak. Any ideas as why he wanted to sample his bedding?

    Does he have any hides? I don't know why he sampled his bedding, but if he's in shed and has no hides he's most likely roaming around looking for a secure place to hide.

    Add a second identical hide that is tight fitting and makes your PB feel secure I like to use plastic plant containers easy to cut and make to size:) As for the Eco Earth mine are on this substrate and will sometimes eat a little eith thier rodents hasnt caused a proble yet :P

    Yes he has one hide that fits him entirely. This is usually the time hes most active during the day since i've been with him, im just stumped. Its a bit scary for me as I do not anything to happen to him.
