I have a BP that won't strike outside of his hide. On feeding day, if he's outside of his hide when I open the rack up to feed, he won't strike. He will explore all around. And once he decides it's food, the dashes back into his hide to get ready to ambush the F/T rat. I usually close the rack, feed someone else, and come back to offer the prey item into the hide entrance. Then it's a lightning quick strike before the head fully enters the hide.
