A month ago I bought my first bp. It wasn't a totally impulsive purchase because I had researched before buying but I had no idea how little I understood until I got her home and started having feeding and viv issues. Now I'm desperately trying to furthar my education. Baloo, that's her name, is acting a little irritable and I think she's hungry. The problem is that the only thing I've been able to get her to eat is live fuzzies. The closest place to purchase them is about 15 miles away from my home. I have been buying 1 fuzzy per week but I think she needs more. The problem is that if I'm wrong and she doesn't eat what's offered then I'm stuck with a live baby mouse that I don't have the knowledge or means to take care of.
The other day I went to get her food and I saw an adult pb there. It occured to me that it was the first time I have seen an adult and I have never held one so, again, I recognized my own ignorance. That aside, I love Baloo and am completely committed to her but I need help understanding what makes her tick so I can make her comfortable.
