First off, I want everyone to know that I am well aware that it's not a huge deal for a BP to go off feed or skip a meal. But I have horrible anxiety & stuff like this will keep me awake for days so I need some reassuring...

Today, is my new 6 month old BPs feeding day. I got him at a local expo last Saturday. The breeder told me he was feeding him Rat Fuzzies & his feeding day was Thursday. So I got the rat & so on & things were good.

I was planning on feeding him during his "active" hours around 630ish when he normally starts to get up & moving but my Softball coach let me know that practice ha been moved from 5-7 & I'm really sick so I didn't want to have to wait until that late just so I could go to bed early (lol), so I decided to try to feed him now. He was in his hideout sleeping so I gently picked it up & stroked him to let him know I was there. Could this be why he wouldn't take the food because he was just awoken or does it even matter?

& then I got him out to put him in his feeding tub that I have for him & all he did was curl up in a ball. I dangled the rat, I moved it around, made it look like he was scrumptious but he didn't move at all. So I gave up & put him back in his tank so that he could relax. I was planning on trying again after i get home from my practice while he's not asleep. Would that be okay to try again later today? Tomorrow? Or do I just need to wait until next week? Anything will help. Trying not to get myself upset. I just want the best for my Ball. Thank you!
