Well, after having my new BP for about 3 1/2 weeks now, taking him to the vet to remove a tick, trying to feed him 3 times, he has FINALLY ate!!! I was a little aggrivated, but reading on here and everywhere else about how they can be stressed, I shouldn't have worried I guess. But, tonight I thawed out the mouse I had in the freezer(which yous were right, it did stink!!), and busting open its stomach a little(YUK!!), put it in the tank and it wasn't 10 minutes that he ate it! Boy, I am SOOOOOO happy now!!!! THANKS for all the helpful information that everyone has shared on this forum!!!

Woohoo! That's great. It's tough, not knowing if they're gonna eat. You know coming to a new home, going to the vet, and having a tick were all stressful to him, so I don't think 3.5 weeks is really bad at all for getting him to eat. And now you're sure he'll eat frozen, too, which is even better.
