I had him for about two months so I thought he would be used to his new enclosure? I've been told that if they keep trying to escape it means there is something wrong with their habitat. I'm not sure what the problem is so that's why I mentioned the wall climbing
Someone on the thread mentioned that his hides might be too big so I am going to get him smaller hides. I want him to feel safe in his enclosure so I see that I have to make some changes
I asked the vet about his weight multiple times!! All they kept telling me was I should be feeding it live as f/t because it's not healthy for them and if I feed him in my tank I'm more likely to get bit? I've always been told that once they ate you should bother/handle them for at least 24hours?
I could care less about the biting. I was just worried about his weight, but I don't think they were
so I don't know if I'll be going back to that vet
When he peeks its head out of his hide is when I offer him food. The night he struck and coiled I did go and reheat the prey hoping he would try again
sadly he didn't come back out of his hide
I occasionally do leave the prey in his tank overnight. On that night I did leave it in his tank
but I don't think he came back out of his hide that night
Don't worry I'm not handling him at all! I promise
I know handling can be stressful for them and with him not eating I don't want to make things worse.
I got this little guy off a website. The pictures they showed me were of a healthy ball, but when he arrived he was basically the same weight he is now
I tried contacting them multiple times but they never got back to me
I'm honestly just happy this little guy survived the shipping process.
It's really upsetting to see him so underweight
I was really hoping the vet would help out with him but they didn't say much on about his weight
Thank you so much for your feedback! I try and feed him every five days like you said and also do research on how to properly feed a bp. I'm hoping I can learn something and get him to eat
And by small meals do you think I should offer him pinkies as well? I feed him fuzzies now
when I got him to eat the first two times they were with the pinkies
Also thank you for the link. I'll definitely check it out
The sooner I can get him to eat the better
