Hi! Got my ball python home a week ago. Breeder told me to feed him second day which I tried. Tried with a f/t because that’s what I’d love for him to eat. He didn’t take it. So waited one week and this evening got him a live mouse (he’s been fed both mice and rats at breeders) and he had no interest in it at all. So I guess I’m just gonna wait for another week then try again? Since it doesn’t seem to matter much as he had the same response to f/t (although he did do one strike at the f/t but missed and bonked his nose at the hide) and live so far would it be ok to try f/t again? Really so much less trouble as now I am stuck with a mouse I’m not sure what to do with for a week... also, how long is pretty standard it takes for a baby ball python to start eating in a new home? At home many denied preys should I get worried?

he seems to be doing ok. Hanging out in his hides all day but that seem normal. Second day he came out exploring a little bit however haven’t seen him do that since.
