    Try just first offering the fuzzie/hopper with a pair of of hemostates. This might include holding it by the tail (with the hemostates) and giving it a little shake in front of his face try this. It might take 5 minutes or 20, don't give up. If he refuses put the fuzzie in the tank and cover it for a while see if that works. some BP's will only eat if its totaly dark and they can't see movement. Also if you place the P/K item back in the box that they were transproted in lay it on its side with the top open that works also. the box gets soiled with urin and mouse or rat scent and it helps to premote the feeding responce. Each animal is different and they might even change up they way they want to eat depending on season or stress level. Just always be ready to change up how you offer. Stay on your toes.

    Good luck
