I just don't understand why Petsmart and Petco can't get a simple, 1 page caresheet explaining the proper prey size from baby to adult, proper temp/humidity, proper heating element, hide, and tank. At least the employees could tell people that buy baby BP's a little bit of correct information.........hopefully people buy a book or do research online, but unforatunetely, I bet most don't. I was at Petco the other day and saw a bunch of pamplets on mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and various other rodents. My wife took one and was interested in the rats.......it had a lot of good information and it was free.
As far as the prey thing, most places will say they feed F/T. That is how they get around the live feeding or anything bigger then a mouse question.
