I recently adopted a 5 year old Male BP. The previous owner had told me that he once went on a year long fast but eventually went back on feed - he will only eat live.

I've had him for a month now and can not get him to eat. He is in a CB-70 rack with no hides (since I was told that he didn't use hides with the previous owner).

I've been offering him a live rat once a week but he shows no interest so far.

Is there anything else I can do or try to get this boy eating. He is 1,800 grams right now - a real chunk.

For the record, his temps are 90 hot side, 80 cool side, humidity 60% with Aspen bedding.

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
