Well, after 8 weeks and using every trick i could find on this forum, along with all the suggestions by my local reptile store, i finally figured out why my bp wouldn't eat. I was feeding her colored rats. The only rats i could get live or frozen were black or hooded. She wouldn't touch them. She acctually struck at them to push them away then went back into her hide. This week we were discussing it at the local reptile store, and one of the guys said, try one of the white rat pups we just got in and see if the color changes her mind abouteating. So i got the white pup, put it in her tank and low and behold, not 15 minutes later we heard the squeek and the food was gone. Has anyone ever had a bp that had a food color preferance, or was she just hungry enough to eat.
