Advice for my pickiest eater?

[RedRabbit]

I've only ever had one BP that went on fasts. I would always downsize the enclosure and downsize the prey. Pre-scent the enclosure if you need to. I would't offer for a week or so after they refuse. Downsizing the prey seems to be the biggest factor in my experience.

Thanks for the tips, cletus. Once the new hides arrive, I'll be able to get an idea of what tub dimensions I might be able to downsize to, while still fitting the hides in the right configuration. And yes, I've been spacing it out by a week between feed offerings; I found out fairly quickly that re-attempting an offer after 2-3 days rarely changed the outcome and just resulted in wasting a rat. Your point about downsizing the prey did remind me that my two BPs are now in different size brackets. I just ran out of the weanling rats, so I'll need to buy a new supply of those, in the smaller size range, for Iggy. My other boy is over 600g and can be tackling small rats without issue.
