A little different scenario tonight. I feed my 7 month old BPs every Thursday. Never a problem. They have eaten live mice to this point and are currently eating large mice. I picked up the mice at 3:45 today and they placed them, as usual, in a stapled paper bag.

The difference today compared to every other feeding is that I waited until my wife got home around 6:30 to feed them as she wanted to watch for the first time. The first mouse went fine to my first BP. The second mouse went from the bag to the enclosure dead. Seriously, it was dead. In retrospect, perhaps they ran out of air?

That being said, my BP caught the scent and moved towards it but froze in front of it waiting for it to move. 5 minutes later she was still in that position so I grabbed some tongs to wiggle it in front of her and she struck it and wrapped it up. 10 minutes later she was not eating it. Now, an hour later, she is laying beside it.

What do I do?
