We've had our baby BP for 6 days now, and tried to feed her for our first time tonight. She didn't eat. I think her refusal has launched me into overworried new mom mode.

The breeder we got her from said she had been eating live hopper mice so far. We wanted to feed f/t, so we got some frozen hopper mice. Should we have given her live food since that was what she was used to until we knew she was settled in to her new home enough to eat? Or is it ok to go ahead and try to get her to switch to f/t right away?

The breeder told us she was about 6 weeks old. How long can a young BP safely go without eating?
