New ball from bhb not eating

[1badtdi]

Ok guys got a 8 month old ball from bhb I had him for 4 weeks. He has eaten good for 3 times and I offer him food on Thur but he will not eat it he is on F/T mice. His temps are good its at 91 on hot and 75 80 cold. I dont know what to do to get him to eat any help will help.

Pictures and info on the setup would help Also the size food and his weight would be helpful.

just keep on eye on your husbandry if its only been one feeding he's missed.

BP's are notoriously iffy eaters

BHB feeds live to all their pythons and boas. So it could possibly still want live and ate the frozen cause it was hungry.
