I realize there are several handling questions already but I couldn't find my exact issue answered. I'm new to keeping BPs. I just got my first one 3 months ago, and she was 1 mo old at the time (So 4mo old). She's doing excellent, has fed 6+ times already for me, shed twice, regular bowel movements. My question is what's the best way to get her out of the enclosure both to weigh her and completely replace her substrate?
When she was initially settling in she would often cruise at night, and I could just open the cage and put her somewhere. The past month now she stays in her hides and only fully comes out if she smells food. Even late at night I've not caught her doing more than going between hides.
I hate to open up the hide and just grab her but not seeing another option. Was tempted to target her out and give her a pinkie once she's on my animal cart, maybe? She's incredibly food motivated now and another reason I need to weigh her and make sure I'm offering the right sized prey (currently on fuzzy rats, but plan to move to pups once I confirm her size).
Any help is appreciated!
