    How are you warming up your hoppers?

    Sometimes it just takes them a while to start eating. It took me 3 weeks to get my PYB to eat and shortly after she went off food for 2 months. >_<

    The way I prepare my f/t is I let them sit out until they are completely thawed and starting to reach room temp. Then I fill a bowl with hot water and let them sit for a few minutes. After this I replace the water and take the bowl over to my rack. I shake them off and then feed. It's worked pretty well for me so far.

    My PYB was just like yours for 2 months and would shy away from food. You can try leaving it in over night, that works with some of my BPs, but you might have to just wait him/her out for a few weeks.

    Edit: If you have been handling your BP I would stop until it starts eating for you. Some get really really stressed from being handled. I'm also assuming you have your husbandry correct.
