A refusal every now and than does not really qualify as a feeding problem, it just happens.

Wait until next feeding day and offer food again.

Okay, feeding my BP in his tank as well as feeding him a dead mouse seemed to work. I put the dead mouse about 1 inch or so from the door of his hide at around 8pm. By 10 pm the mouse was gone. So, that being said, I guess I will do the same routine next time.

Glad to hear your ball enjoyed the offered prey item! :)
