new questions...

:(:(:(
left him for over an hour, in a tub in the closet so it would be dark... nothing... just left it there... im gonna leave it over night tonight in his reg tank... maybe he just dosnt feel comfortable in the tub

OK first question is now do you have a temp gun. Second question what is the temp of the mouse and are you touching the mouse before feeding at all. YOu may have a scent or temp issue. I wear latex Gloves the whole time trying to feed I scent them with rat bedding and use the temp gun to make sure the rodent offered is about 100F. If you dont have a way in your home to scent your gloves try asking a pet store for some left over rat or gerbil bedding. Latex gloves are pretty cheap. Hope this helps you out I am routing for you he will get it just takes a little time:please:

P.S. every animal is different I would not be to worried yet. Like I said our petstore normal took about 3 weeks before he started eating and he decided he didnt want to eat last night. But our new pied girl was hungry :)

yeah i actually use gloves when i handle the FT. but i dont have a temp gun so im not sure if its warm enough or not. i touch it and when it dosnt feel cold anymore i try to give him it.

your BP sounds new, did you give it enough time to acclimate before trying to feed? also i wouldnt try feeding them in a tub or try until they start eating for you, i did this and he refused to eat everytime. I now just put paper or paper towels in his tank on feeding day rather than feeding him in a tub.

yeah i left him in his tank for a week before trying to feed, ive had him for about 2 weeks,after he refused the 1st time i left him for another week. so this is the 2nd time trying in a tub...
im gonna try to get him used to eating with me then ill go to the tub, thx guys...

damn is this dude blind???

Perhaps its not warm enough, i recently feed my BP and he did defensive strikes and ignored it untill i made the mouse warm to the touch. also if he doesnt eat give him a week before feeding again or you could stress him out.

he finally ate yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. i left it last night after trying again... he goes for it but then becomes frustrated when he dosnt grab it. but at least he ate it, so now i feed again next Saturday ...awesooooooooooooooome...:banana:

Grats hope our normal eats tonight he is picky

glad he ate dude i have got 2 ball pythons and both ate the same day i got them

never nu they were really that fussy at eating lol
