    Re: Feeding issues

    what's odd is she use to eat frozen no problem and she goes back onto frozen its just on and off with her. i typically dethaw in warm water then put it in hot water (from the tap) to heat it up offer it; usually she eats it this way, if not ill blast it with a hair dryer which then seems to work. Now she is going back to her kind of scared of it routine. Usually i hold it up by the tail and she will take it. I tried doing the leaving it in the warm side hide, method, but that never worked. tonight I'm trying to just leave it in the tank lying outside her hide and hoping she takes it. Any other methods? I'm very open to suggestions and/or to try new methods.

    What i worry is whether she will starve herself if she doesn't have live. like if i were to keep offering frozen at some point will she eat it or are bp's really that picky that they would starve themselves?
