    9 week old bp not eaten for 3 weeks help, newbie owner

    Hi ,
    I got my BP 5 weeks ago, he has eaten twice for the breeder b4 I got him and twice for me. He is now refusing small fuzzies, hoppers and even rat pups. I have even warmed them with a hairdryer and pierced the brain but he just looks interested then leaves it. I have left them overnight too. He is 100g. Please help I am getting worried. He is in a 10litre viv 2 hides foliage and water as recommended

    How are you heating him? Also have you reached out to the breeder for help?

    Try live for a while.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Mine did the same thing. The only thing that fixed it was, well, feeding live. I hated it, but I had to make sure he ate. After that he was eating F/T like a pro.
