    Feeding problem
    Okay so I bought my BP about a week ago. And today i was going to feed her for the first time. She hadn't accepted food at the pet store where i bought her for 3 weeks. I tried to feed her a thawed mouse. I put her in a seperate box and offered her the mouse. She striked and got it. She was alright, but then my brother was recording with his phone and moved the box with his foot a little roughly by accident. The snake let go of the mouse and regected the food. I am so mad, and worried. She has been 4 weeks without eating. I know BP go off feed for some months at random, but she had already accepted the mouse. When should I try to feed her again?

    I just did. She just gets close and smells it then acts interested, and turns away.

    yep, just warm it up and lay it in the box and walk away. No one goes near her for about an hour.
