Wasting rodents is part of BP life unfortunately. There are a bunch of ways to get them to eat. We have 22 and here are some of the things we do/have done to get them to eat.
-we have 3 who won't eat a rat unless it's so hot it's almost ready to explode
-we have some that won't strike and take it from tongs. We need to leave it in the tub overnight
-some will not strike in light. Use a red bulb to see what you are doing
-scent your rat with mice or dirty mouse bedding (pet stores will give that stuff away)
-offer farther apart. Let the snake sit 2 weeks before offering again
-be persistent
All that being said we have 1 BP who no matter what we do he won't eat rats. And it's costly to keep him fed on mice!
