How should I offer live food?

[JeffJ]

Make sure the mouse is well fed before offering it to your bp. Drop the mouse in and turn off all of the lights. Watch closely, and be ready to intervene if anything goes wrong. He should eat it pretty quickly. If he has not eaten it within forty-five minutes, you should remove the mouse, and try again in five days.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

to add to this. offer at night. it will help allot if your BP is a trouble eater as they are nocturnal.

presenting does not hurt either. Also, watch that hopper, the mice hoppers i have got all seem to be on crack and are to spunky to offer during the evening wait till its sleeping then wake it and drop it in around 12 AM the BP should take it.
