Is it possible to turn a BP into a picky eater? Apart from when he first arrived, and I fed a bit early, he's always eaten like a champ- super alert/ interested- went from mice to rats with no issue. However, after he failed to swallow a rat, and I reheated it up and waved it in front of him, no interest, so I did what I did to first get him to eat, which is to rub it against him and kind of annoy him into striking. thing is, he didnt get annoyed, just really scared, and since then has shown no interest at all. otherwise not acting stressed
