you can always try rubbing the sent of the rodent in her cage about 1 hour before feeding then getting a hairdryer and hairdrying the rodent> blowing the cent towards the cage.. hopefully it will put him into hunt mode, or i think another way is to cut the skull open of the rodent not to sure about that though. or just put the rodent inside the cave and leave him in there for about an hour.. hope this helped

i was using live.i had a rat pup in there for a full day and nothing.all she does is gets defensive at the rodent and strikes it as a defense

Can you describe your husbandry for me, cage size, temps, humidity, hides etc?

Do you handle this BP? If so how often?

[SRMD]

have you tried mice? most balls prefer this and if the ball is scared by the size of the prey?

im not sure weight for the bp pros to weigh in lol
