Cause for concern
I got a male bp about a month ago and he hasnt eaten for me he weighs 430g. All my husbandry is correct. I tried feeding in the enclosure and he seemed interested but never struck the prey i offered. Should i be worried?

Not unless he's losing a lot of weight, what are you feeding him, and if f/t are you getting it warm enough? Are you handling him or just leaving him alone?

Re: Cause for concern
If his husbandry is on point and he otherwise seems fine, I wouldn't worry too much. It can take a while for a ball to settle in...I bought a female(900 grams) a couple years ago that didn't eat for the first 10 months I had her, and she was provided with proper temps, humidity, and even a hide which I don't normally use at all. Just keep an eye out for rapid weight loss, that would indicate a problem.
