Well I have been feeding him for a year in a different tub and there is usually no problem.

I bought my first bp at Petsmart and it died in the first week. They replaced it with another one that ate but was extremely finicky. I don't think their bp's are unhealthy per say just product's of mass breeding. I do know, however, that the large majority of their employee's know very little about these animals and have a tendency to neglect their special needs. Humidity for example. Anyway now that you know it will eat you should do fine with it.

I got my little guy from petco now you got me worried! He seems fine though hasn't eaten but he just starting shedding so I'm assuming that's why it's only been a little over a week since he hasn't eaten though.

I will give you guys an update in like a month! But so far so good. What did it die from? Not eating? Thankfully this one is really young so not much damage could have been done.
