Feeding problem

[Hector108]

Okay so I bought my BP about a week ago. And today i was going to feed her for the first time. She hadn't accepted food at the pet store where i bought her for 3 weeks. I tried to feed her a thawed mouse. I put her in a seperate box and offered her the mouse. She striked and got it. She was alright, but then my brother was recording with his phone and moved the box with his foot a little roughly by accident. The snake let go of the mouse and regected the food. I am so mad, and worried. She has been 4 weeks without eating. I know BP go off feed for some months at random, but she had already accepted the mouse. When should I try to feed her again?

warm in up and try it again.

I just did. She just gets close and smells it then acts interested, and turns away.

[Sunnieskys]

leave it in there and walk away. check on her in an hour or so.

[Hector108]

So i just leave it laying down in the box?

[Sunnieskys]

yep, just warm it up and lay it in the box and walk away. No one goes near her for about an hour.

Ok. I certainly will. What do i do if she doesnt consume it? Do i dispose of the mouse? Do i offer her one tomorrow?

[Hector108]

Thank you man. She got it. You can only see the tip of the tail outside her mouth. Again Thank you soo much.

glad she ate. sometimes, you just need to leave them be. It is so cool to watch them eat. sometimes they are like no way...just go away. lol
