    Unhappy baby bp prblem eating

    OK so when I got my bp around 2-3 months ago she was eating good then I think I stepped up to big on the rat and now she has stopped eating. She acts like she afraid of them now and really don't know what do do It's been a month and one week since shes ate but has not lost any body weight so I not that worried but what if she wont eat she In a tank with a pinky eyes shut and not moving around and she still wont eat it so I really dont know what to do any help would be great thanks..

    try putting a bunch of balled up newspaper in the tank for her to hunt through. I have heard this has worked for several members...

    If your husbandry is good, and the food is good, then you simply have a normal ball python.
    They all fast, you just have to suffer through it. As long as the body weight does not decrease then you don't have a problem.
    I had a 2 month old BP stop for no reason, she resumed eating after a month and a half. Nothing had changed, she just didn't want to eat at that time, and continued when she felt the need to.
