feeding

i just got my baby blond pastel and i tried to feed her a small mouse-little bigger then a hopper. and she wont eat. the breed i bought her from said she feed her last Thursday and she was eatting small mice and/or rat pinkies . So its been a week. could it be change of enviroment is the reason she wont eat or could it be something else??

so help would be nice

How long have you given her to settle in? Most of the time it takes at least a week to settle in.

You just recieved that snake according to a previous post.

Give her a week minimum to settle in and acclimate with no handling, then offer food.

And yes, changes in environment is very stressful for a BP, especially a baby.

A mouse pink is WAY too small for a BP, even the smallest baby.

Unless she is brand new and on something less than a few feeds I would not be giving her rat pinks either.

Newborns get week old rats.
