I just bought my 2 month old beautiful BP and The man at the pet store told me that she has been feeding on live. Not knocked out or killed fully alive and he hasn't had a problem... Now i read on here that I should knock them out or kill the mouse first... Does it really matter if she is not getting injured? Also, another question. I just got her a week ago and she hasn't even touched her water. Will she get seroiusly dehydrated if she doesn't drink. And my BP also was supposed to defecate on thursday and it is now saturday..hmm maybe just stress of new home.
