    Is it often that BP's will eat whatever you give them?

    My girl has eaten whatever i throw at her. I've heard a LOT about bp's being picky but mine can and will eat anything and everything. Anyone else?

    Some do some don’t, it all depends on the individual BP

    Spider? yes. Otherwise it's pretty rare they are so easy going about food. Our Banana Bee would probably eat a shoe if we put it on tongs and offered it. She has never once refused a meal, will go back and forth mice to rats, even reptilinks with no training, no problem, even deep in shed.

    I've had close to the same experience with any other Spider I've ever owned as well.

    My BP will eat anything as well lol. I had zero issues switching him from mice to rats, just offered a rat one day and he took to it immediately. I've also fed him a quail and he was very enthusiastic about eating it. If my hand waves in front of his enclosure when he thinks he's about to be fed he will hone in on it and track it with his head. If I walk into the room with a plate full of chicken nuggets I will see him eyeballing them from the opening of his hide with his neck in an "S" shape.
