Short story!!!

let me start of by saying that owning a bp feels good and stressful as well. as a new bp owner, i felt stress for the couple of weeks that he is not feeding. ive gotten him for almost a month now and he stil hasnt eaten. husbandry is ok as far as my research goes. few things i found out. first my bp has ticks. then i took care of it. as i speak im still watching out if he has some ticks. few things also that i found out is that he is a wild caught. i know u guys are gonna jump on me because i bought him. i didnt know that he is wild caught. this is my fault and not the animal so i do my best to get him back in shape. also i bought a cb 5 year old female. she is doing well. she ate the the store where i got her. she ate again after 4 days in my care. then its been a week since she last ate and i try to feed her today and she refused. im not worried bout her cause through research this is the time of the month that they stop feeding. well the next thing to do for my wc male is a trip to the vet. i just want to share my lil experience with them. thanks

In the past the best luck I've had with WC is to leave them alone for a while (month +) and make sure they've got a very dark warm hide box. If you have to you can try to start it off with some live mice and then once the winter is overing and proper cooling has taken place then try feeding them rats.

Cheers

well as of last month the only contact i had with him is when i check him for ticks. and weekly to rty to feed him. he also finished shedding with my help. hes shedding in pieces. but anyway i just try my best.

I dont think anybody could blame you about the WC issue. Most of the time people dont find out they have a WC BP until after the purchase. Well good luck with the WC I hope you get it to feed.

If it's wild caught, get a fecal exam done, and treat for whatever parasites turn up in the exam. Of course if he's not eating, a sample might be hard to get. You could always try just treating for internal parasites anyway.
