"Sorry but I just seen your post here answering or showing you already have done some of what I recommended
So im wondering wait two days and try weaned rat ? I would wait a week or 2 or let him chill more and get used to his environment yes , i really dont want to mess with him if i can avoid picking him up if possible till he atleast had one meal really dont want to stress him out any more than what is needed , he lays with his head outside his hide sometimes I have found that can be a hunting mode stance in the air sometimes just on the ground but during the day he is curled up tight very normal and good behavior for a BP , haven't seen him in hunting mode at all. Keep looking. And this guy might be a mouser for the most part. If you breed mice it is legal to offer pre-killed there I believe. That works pretty good if they are indeed hungry."
Thanks dude i really appreciate your advice im going to let him chill more with his enclosure dark covered with blanket and leave him alone for 7 days as my last try was 1 night ago.
During day tiny bit of natural light will creep through air ventilation vents on the sides of enclosure humidity is around 62% on avg now as well.
I will kepp looking out for hunting signs like you said , from what i have read they will not very likely starve themselves to death , eventually he will eat ?
Patience is key ?
