I just got my bp to feed for the first time and ive only had him three days ...lol I was worried all the reading ive done here and elsewere i was expecting a problem. I used a live hopper for the first tim and he struck it in under a minute :O) I know i plan to switch to pre-killed but i was worried and i just wanted him to eat since i bought it at petco and they dont know much here anyway i was proud ... my gf was lil upset since she was playing with the mouse before hand lol... My 2 year old sone was just sittin there going whoa daddy :O)
