I am sure some one with more expirience will chime in soon, but i have heard Bps will starve them self if not comfortable. So check you temps hides ect. Also make sure you are heating the mouse up enough for bp. So tips i read before was to warm it up with a hair dryer or warm water. Another was not to dangle it by its tail but some where on the back. <-- might want some one to try and clarify this because im not to sure about it. Well i hope this helps, im also new and learning the ropes of hunger strikes.
