    BP not eating [emoji853]
    So my ball isn’t eating and I need some advice

    I fed him live rats a few times, bigger than the frozen thawed he eats. I think I may have turned him off of frozen, and fed him too big of a meal.

    I fed him in his enclosure one time two feeds ago, so that may or my not be it.

    I need to know why he isn’t eating, it’s been about two weeks since his last meal, which was considerably large.

    Help me!!!

    could you give us a run-down of your husbandry and equipment?

    and why did you feed live if he was already eating f/t? and why did you give him too big of a meal?

    as in that was the first time you ever fed in the enclosure? keep feeding in the enclosure; there's no need to feed in a separate enclosure.

    2 weeks without food is nothing, especially if it was a large meal.

    also, it's more polite to ask for help instead of shouting "Help me!!!" ;)

    Overfeeding can cause them to go off food for a while, but I would also double check husbandry.
