    I don't know if this is normal ...

    So it's been awhile since I've had a BP. My first 2 I always fed live. My new one Guinevere is a 6 month old Pastel, weighs 165g. When I bought her they were feeding her live rat pups. I decided I wanted to go with f/t early on that way it would be easier ( plus it's really hard to find live feeders near me ). Anyways, so I just fed her. Have a dedicated feed tub. Dropped the mouse in, covered it almost all the way leaving enough so I could watch. So she struck and hit the mouse on the first try. This is where it gets weird. She then proceeded to swing the mouse around slowly. Never even moved the bottom 2/3 of her body. Literally from start to finish she just ate it using the top of her body, never once wrapped it or constricted it. She got it down just fine though. I didn't watch her eat last week do I don't know if it was the same then but is this common with f/t ?

    Oh and sorry for making a quick question so long :-)

    They'll eat differently everytime. Sounds normal. As lung as she's eating I wouldnt worry.
