Feeding Problem-Help!

[Stewart_Reptiles]

After a few weeks of feeding weekly without any problems, this weekend my BP (Alex) didn't seem interested in the live mouse I got him. So my first thought was "Uh Oh"...feeding problem.Thoughts?

A refusal every now and than does not really qualify as a feeding problem, it just happens.

Wait until next feeding day and offer food again.

OK but give him a couple days to calm down first before you try again.

Okay, feeding my BP in his tank as well as feeding him a dead mouse seemed to work. I put the dead mouse about 1 inch or so from the door of his hide at around 8pm. By 10 pm the mouse was gone. So, that being said, I guess I will do the same routine next time.

Glad to hear your ball enjoyed the offered prey item!

If it worked, stick with it.
