He was off food for the first month I got him (Now I've had him for a month and 2 weeks ish) but has been eating ASF's for the past 2 weeks, I did dip the head of the rodent in hot water for about 10 seconds just so he could see it and strike it but that's about it. There was no mucus and the colour was the usual dark colour that is is for all my BPs... Thanks for the help
