So yesterday was feeding day, and i gave my BP the usual (2 leftover hopper mice every 5 days). Yesterday he really wanted to get out of his tub as always cause he was so hungry (i think it's hunger because he calms down when i feed him), and since he was too busy trying to escape for a long time he would just not notice his food for a while until he'd calm down, hide and just wait patiently with his head out. That happens every time, but since i couldn't wait longer than a hour of him making his escape attempts i just left a hopper mouse in the tub, and he'd usually eat it. Not this time though, he was lying next to it, on it but he just wouldn't eat it. He still looked hungry, because he was alert for any noise nearby and would start flicking his tongue fast if i'd open his tub. After 6-7 hours i decided to take out the mouse, because it started to be stinkier and it was just squished because my snake just kept slithering on it while still trying to get out of the tub. He'd try to get out then calm down and hide waiting, then try again to get out and so on. After taking out the mouse i decided to take one of my freshly ordered 30 gram rat, and decided to try and give it to him well thawed and warmed up. Keep in mind he has a very good appetite, and he seemed interested but also weirded out by the rat, cause he was just sniffing and sniffing it. I decided to leave it overnight, and he didn't eat it, but still is waiting with his head out of the hide. The temps are usual (26°C and 30°C) and humidity is between 65% and 75%. I don't know what could be causing this and it stresses me out seeing him trying to escape over and over, he keeps moving his decorations and his water bowl till it falls no matter what, and i don't know if i should try to feed him today, tomorrow or just wait till next week. Please help.
