Just a worry

[Inkstain]

Hello all, I just got my first ball and he didn't want to eat a frozen thawed. So i was planning on getting him a live mouse but before i did my father though it would be a good idea to feed him a wild mouse. i don't plan on letting that happen again but should i be worried? thanks.

Just to be clear he ate the wild mouse? If so yeah I would probably start to worry wild mouse carry a numerous amount of parasites and diseases. I don't have any experience with BPs eating wild mouse but I would keep an eye on him and if anything strange happens to him take him to the vet immediately.

In addition to potential parasite problems, I'd also worry that the mouse might have ingested something toxic or poisonous. Watch the snake carefully for any signs that something may be wrong.
