With all these stories of BPs not eating or being unbelievably picky I feel like the luckiest owner. It's been nearly a full year since mine's been with me and he's transitioned directly from live to frozen as his first meal post-arrival (I could not for the life of me find a place to just buy a live mouse so I just took a chance), switched from mice to rats without hesitation, and will eat no matter what I do beforehand be it misting, handling (mostly for weighing since the readings will be the most accurate) or even cleaning.
