Should I Handle Yet

[ANikeAddict]

So I've had my BP (Mojo Jojo) for a few weeks now and he just shed for the first time about 3 days ago. Since I know he hasn't ate in about 2 weeks I tried feeding him but he won't eat. I know it's common for them to just not eat but I'm not tryin to be mistaken for food when he finally does choose to eat. So my question is can I go back to handling him yet or should I wait until he after he decides to eat?

This pic was before he shed.

Everyone has opinions on this, but actually the only time I don't hold mine is a couple days after they do eat, or usually when they are in a shed cycle.

Has he had a meal with you yet?

Honestly I'd recommend holding off the handling until he's eaten successfully for you. Otherwise you run the risk of stressing him out and further delaying a feed.

He's eaten for me twice already.

He's eaten for me twice already.

My apologies. You said you have had him for a few weeks, and that you know he hasn't eaten in 2 weeks, yet you've fed him twice?


was just an assumption, either way the advice still stands.
