Also now that he's a year old and up to his adult size you don't have to feed every week, a small rat every two or three weeks is plenty.
That's actually good to know. He was raised on small mice and hasn't taken a rat from me yet. I think I may offer a small mouse meal next time to see if he gets going on eating again. If he starts to feed, I will offer him a rat again and see if he takes it. Like I said, he is skittish and easily stressed out. So the less I change I think is the better for him. But I am comforted by the fact that you said it may be a normal thing for him during mating season. We do have female BPs in the house. One is still young but one is just two months older than him and has been feeding and very active. Maybe he knows she has been cruising around.
