    Simply offer again next week, offering too soon after a refusal can lead to stress only leading to more refusal.

    Just remember from time to time they will skip a meal nothing to worry about.

    Re: my bp skipped a meal

    Yeah don't worry, my bp skipped 3 months worth of meals during winter when I first got him. He hasn't done that since, but I don't know of many owners who have snakes that readily accept every meal throughout their lives.
