Fed my first BP for the first time today
Hello all! I just thought I would post about my first BP I got about a week ago and her/his first feeding today. I am soooooo happy she took to the live adult mouse right away I have read many stories about how finicky and picky a ball can be. I was hoping she would eat soon for being so new to her new home. I did feed her out of her cage and I saw first hand why it is best to feed her in her cage. I just wanted to watch and make sure everything went OK. I put her in a big plastic tub and then put the mouse (that was still in the carrier) in with her to try and get the scent to entice her. At first she only seemed interested in climbing out of the tub, but then I think she caught on that dinner was in there with her. I dropped the mouse out of the carrier and she almost instantly locked on to it. The rest is history lol. I do have a video I can post as well. It other than that, she took that mouse like champ!!

Thanks guys! Next time I think I will be feeding in her cage. I almost got bit trying to get her out of that tub lol.  I still cant believe how fast she locked in to that mouse though. I hope she will always be a strong feeder.

Congratulations!  Feeding reptiles makes me nervous... they all seem so picky and you need to be so precise with their feedings! At least compared to birds.

Awesome on the feeding and not having any issues. Though it never hurts our reptiles to miss a meal or two or in some cases more, it always stresses us out and sometimes causes us to miss our meals, lol.

Congrats. I agree with your conclusion. From now on i'd feed it in its enclosure.

Do the majority of people here feed in their enclosures or in a separate area?
