Feeding problem?

I bought my BP a week ago today and had eaten a small fuzzy mouse earlier that day. I bought him a somewhat large [frozen] fuzzy mouse today and thawed it. He snapped it right up and has been wrestling it for an hour now. He has a firm grip on its neck but seems unable to get to its head to swallow it. Does this just take time, or is something up?

Ok, all good, he just got it down...... after an hour and 45 minutes.

Was it is first F/T?

Not sure how old your BP is but an hatchling BP can start on hopper mice so fuzzy is likely too small for him.

Either way what I would suggest you is to leave the mouse overnight and check in the morning if it is still there dispose of it and try feeding again in one week

lol thats funny:rockon:

Looks like everything went down fine. ;)
