Hello! I'm totally new at this, so please take it easy Ive had my BP for three weeks now, and he/she is a delight! It is too young to tell if it is a boy or a girl so I'm not sure what to say LOL. Anywhoo...


So I need some feeding tips. I tried to feed him/her a F/T fuzzy (what they had been feeding it before), but I kept dropping the dang thing in the coco substrate. So then, I would run to the kitchen, run it under the hot water, and try again only to drop it again another two or three times. After that, I could tell it was stressed so I gave up. I tried again the next day with the same results. I have been reading and it seems that a lot of ppl say it isn't a big deal for them to swallow some shredded substrate so that brought up and idea...So, now it is a week later and I'm ready to try again today. Would it be ok for me to just heat up the fuzzy and then just lay it on the substrate for him/her to take at its leisure? If not, would it be ok for me to set it on something plastic (like a pringles lid or something) and then set it in there for him/her? Any tips would be appreciative.

Also, I did try taking her out of the enclosure and putting her in a plastic tote with the F/T fuzzy and leaving her/him for a couple of hours with no luck either!
