Will a BP starve itself to death?

[h00blah]

I am sure some one with more expirience will chime in soon, but i have heard Bps will starve them self if not comfortable.

this has some truth to it, they will sometimes refuse to eat bc they do not feel secure enough to eat, which can be a result of por husbandry.

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.

by "the back" u mean the scruff where the spine is (behind the neck)
for holding a dead mouse with tongs, i just grab it by its side fat, i find it easier to zombie dance that way
