i have a female bp who was afraid to feed at first. she would strike the f/t mouse but would never coil. i tried f/t for four weeks from her first feeding with me and she was never interested. the fifth feeding i threw in a live rat pup and she ate it with no problems.


maybe you could try live rats at first to get your bps feeding response back up and then switch her to f/t rats after she has fed for you a few times.
