    They're nocturnal so a BP being out of their hide at night is completely normal. Sometimes they just decide to be picky and don't eat. If you're offering F/T make sure the rodent is completely thawed and its head and belly is warmed up under a heat lamp or with a blowdryer.

    Just to confirm, what are your exact temperatures and humidity? Does he have two identical hides? If your husbandry's proper when we'll be able to give you better advice on what exactly might be up with him not eating but the night roaming is completely normal.
