Food refusal can be husbandry related so here is what you need to do

Check temperature 80-84 on the cool side, 90-94 on the warm side
Check humidity 50%-60%
Make sure the enclosure is in a low traffic area
If you handle your BP a lot stop until he resume feeding
Make sure the hides are tight enough (If you can fit something in the hide with your BP then the hide is TOO BIG)

BP will also fast to catch up if the prey they have eaten in the past are too big or if you feed too often.


None of mine are fasting
