Provide temps of 76/78 and 86/88.

Wait a week (NO HANDLING), offer a live mouse (size equal your BP's girth sise) in the BP's enclosure.

No handling before the animal eats 3 consecutive times.

Once the animal eats you can attempt to switch to F/T

Having your animal fed in for you is your priority not F/T.

Going to a vet will accomplish nothing but be a waste of money.
I follow these rules except the going to live. The husbandry is that of the rest of my balls. They're on a rack and I make sure they are all good with their humdity and temps.
