Feeding Success!

[snake_lady83]

I offered my baby bp live prey for the very first time and she ate for me (up until now she'd never eaten)! She didn't hesitate or anything! She'll be nice and plump in no time . Just wanted to share the good news with everyone.

congrats!!!

Thanks. I'm so relieved its not even funny....I was probably stressing more than necessary, but I knew if she started eating it would be a good sign that she is feeling comfortable and not stressed (or at least less stressed).

it does ease the mind when they eat for you especially when you are new with them, in time you will know when it is a problem or not.

Yes it definitely eased my mind. I'm sure I'll loosen up very quickly...when you love a pet you want them to be happy and in the best of health. Now that she's eating I feel much better (and I'm sure she's happy to have a full belly).

Hehe...this is a common problem with BP's. We talk all the time about how we're stressing THEM out...but we never get to accuse them of stressing US out.

Congrats! I know what a relief it is, especially with that first feed. Here's to many more.

Thanks. I think the rough part is over and done with. Hopefully it's clear sailing now.
