    Re: When do you start to panic about your BP not eating?

    Believe it or not, that could be it. I have a BP that will only eat if I go straight from the freezer, to the warm water (no bag), to his enclosure. If his prey sits out for a little while, he won't eat it. If I leave it in the fridge or at room temp to defrost, he won't eat.
