I just got 2 new BP's on Sunday and tried to feed them yesterday. Previously both were eating live rat crawlers. I want to feed f/t to them so I figured I'd give it a try. Atlas (male pied) took a few minutes to take the f/t large mouse, but once he took it he ate it quickly without issue. Oblina (female spider het pied) also took a few minutes to figure out the mouse was food, but when she did, she struck at it, and missed. After the miss, she was no longer interested. I know, being a spider she could have issues with aim, so I wasn't moving the mouse much. Also, she dosen' t have a noticeable wobble, so I didn't think it would be much of an issue.
I have had BP's miss before, but they always just try again. I have never had one lose interest. It's like her pride was hurt lol. Should I try feeding again to tonight? I would try with live, but given that she went for the f/t, I don't know if the food is the problem. Opinions?
