    BP Hatchling refusing to eat
    I haven't experienced this yet but is it normal for a hatchling bp (hatched on july 24th) to not eat for two wks. Tried last Sat and this sat with f/t & live hoppers and rat pinkies.Tried feeding in its cage and in a tub, in the tub/cage with blanket over top, etc. Nothing works. Any Ideas?

    Temps are all right so is humidity. And I thought she could be in shed but she isn't so I'm at all lost here.

    Thanks in advance for all comments!

    It sounds like to me of a typical baby ball trying to make Mom go crazy from stress lol.Yea its normal for balls to go off food for no apperant reasons.I have a het albino that has eaten only 3 times in the last 3 months;) .Give her some more time and try feeding her again.If not let us know and we here can give you some tricks to get babies to eat;) .
