    1st Try.....

    Some of you probably seen pics of the BP i purchased for my son. Well, when I bought it, the petshop said they couldnt get them to eat and were force feeding pinkies once a week. I figured I could fix this so I bought it anyway. Well I bought him a day before they normally feed and let him chill at my house for a week. After looking at him, I figured he would be able to handle a hopper with no problems....... Well, I got the feeder home and wiggled it in front of his face and with in three seconds......anialation (sp). Im so happy....


    I dont know what that petshop does but he didnt act like a problem feeder in the least. Im beginning to doubt they even fed him ever with the response I got.

    Let me guess they had him in a tank with nothing for him to hide in ?

    You bring him home get his heat right and a hide and everything changes for the better GRATS on getting him to eat

    They probably tossed a live mouse in there and just left it.

    Lol! These petshops are clueless these days. I swear they need a smack in the to see what torture they put animals through.
