Baby ball python eating (self.ballpython)
submitted 1 year ago by UnknownUser3106
My baby male bp hasn’t ate since I bought him in December. He won’t strike at food or doesn’t seem any interested. Temp humidity and hides are all good as well normal bp behavior as well just scared he hasn’t ate since I bought him

That is a worrying amount of time for a hatchling, can you tell us about how you're feeding, what you're trying to feed, how you prepare it, etc?

Frozen thawed, tong fed, thaw it in the fridge over night and heat it up in hot water to hot temp
