He is also a piggy and would eat as many mice as I threw in there until he exploded :)
Even when he is chillin he spins his hide around so he can look out the front of the tub. Whenever I open the tub he bolts right up and crawls out and up my arm to go for a ride. Reminds me of a dog when you come home and open the front door, lol.

reminds me of my RTB. he'll do ANYTHING to wrap around your waist and then stick his head up over your shoulder. He's a goof.

Yeah, he's cruising the cage again.

I don't think the feed is large enough. I am going to petco looking for the biggest ones, and they still seem 'small'

Are rat pinkies too big? Anyone know where I can get them?

How big is your bp? an adult mouse should suffice for a week.

20-22" long, havent weighed yet.

at that size an adult mouse is all he needs

Yea mine is 22-23" and I'm only just moving to smaller adult mice.

You know, I had the same thing and the other thing you might consider is that he just isn't happy with something about his cage. Perhaps there is something that is making him nervous.

Green with envy!!! I hope my Snakey eventually gets there. He doesn't come out for me but he seems to wait until I take him out. He makes it out to be real scary when I'm reaching in for him but as soon as I pick him up he's relaxed. Once I'm done and put him back in his cage he usually spends the rest of the night chillin' on his big grape-wood log. I guess mine just needs a kick-start.

Naw, some bp's, actually most display behavior like yours.
Mine is just a nosy little guy. I contribute some of his open behavior to the breeder I got him from. He is a great guy who spends time and takes great care of his stock.
Plus it is just Corona's personality. Each bp is different.
My Ozzy is 4 yrs old and has been handle by me since he was about 18" and he still is very very shy.

Is it bad to have a restless BP in general?

Depends on why he is restless. Is it restless or just movement.
