feeding question

I defrosted, warmed up, and got a response from my BP. She snatched at the food, and now she just has it tucked away behind her, and she is just staring at me (even when I leave the room for 20 mins she stares out the front of her cage) Guarding her meal for later, or a picky eater? If/when do I take out the rodent, this is my first time feeding her.

Hi,

Well if you have long tongs you could try taking it out and re-heating it a bit.

But if you stick your hand in she is likely to mistake it for dinner and strike at it. :)

I'd leave it in overnight if you don't have tongs and then, next time, heat the head of the prey a bit more so it stays warmer for longer. :gj:

Lol.. I tried the long tong route and she first seemed like she was backing up to let me have it and then quickly struck out pretty far so I believe that's out. I just stuck a black pillowcase over the front left part so she can't see me. It's apparent she wants it for now anyway :P
