    Trouble feeding
    One of my bps, has not eaten since October tenth. He is about four years old and got him from a friend who could not take care of him (in October). He was in a 90 gallon tank, now I have him in a 32 quart tub. My other bps have the exact same setup and are eating. I have tried putting him into a 55 gallon tank and letting it scent for hours, he will only eat live. Since October he has lost about 20 grams. It is also the first breeding season he has been near females. My best friend (his previous owner) thinks I should house him in my 55 gallon for a week and then try to feed him, his theory being that when he was in the 90 gallon the cage would be scented and the bp would climb on the driftwood. then the rat goes in and he would stalk the rat usually killing it from on the branch. the bp would also go off feed in the winter months. I believe that would be counterproductive and stress him more by changing his environment. What do you think any tips?
