One reason I always recommend f/t is that if the snake don't eat it atleast the mouse is already dead. Cause I'll tell ya I'm not sure what to do with a live mouse a snake won't eat other than.

A) Make it a Pet
B) Save it for next week with food and water and such
C) Set it free in the woods which sounds dumb even as I type it.


There's alot of tips I could give for F/T Feeding but I'd never do live personally so I can't help there. I will say that I wouldn't worry yet. BP not eating for a few weeks is A okay as long as it's not showing other health problems or significant weight loss.
