    BP trap door trap?

    Some may have seen from my earlier post that I stupidly let one of my BPs out last night. So far all I've seen of her are some urates left behind my fish tank sump, so at this point she could be anywhere.

    My apartment is fairly cluttered and I have 2 cats, so I can't try the flour method to figure out where she's been.

    She hasn't eaten in a while so I'm fairly confident she's hungry. I figured I would set up a small tub with some hides and substrate and a heat lamp, and just put a f/t rat in there for her to find.

    Was gonna drill a hole in the tub for her to enter, but was considering maybe taping a piece of plastic or cardboard to the inside like a hatch, so that she can go in but not come out.

    I'm not sure if this would discourage her to enter the tub in the first place, though, so maybe I shouldn't. I doubt I'll get her to go for a f/t rat big enough to fatten her to the point where she couldn't use the same exit if I didn't put a sort of trap door.

    Any advice is welcome! Thanks, this has been a very stressful morning.
