    Problem Feeder

    Ive had my BP here for a few weeks and i have yet to get her to eat.

    Shes about 6 months old and very small (smaller since i posted pictures of her weeks back). Her breeder had her on live pups, and im transitioning her to frozen. Last week she struck at a frozen pup, but tried to eat it arm first, she eventually gave up. This week, she seems more interested in trying to get out of the door and not paying the food any attention. Ive noticed for the last few days that she is looking for ways out.

    Her cool end is about 78-80, hot end 90-92 and her humidity hovers around the 50-60 area. I havent handled her in 2-3 weeks besides getting her unstuck from areas she likes to get into. Im not sure if I should resort to trying the chicken broth trick, if i should get her a live pup, or if i should take her to a vet to have them give her fluids. I wouldnt be concerned about an older snake, but this one is young and was already underweight 3 weeks ago.

    Any opinions? Thanks!
