Very nice animal! I have the same problem with a BP and i never thought of trying that. I have tried everything else thought, with all kinds of different prey but never live, always pre-killed. I'm going to try live prey! Hope it works! Good with your critter!

Thanks alot for the compliments, and most of all for the feed back on the feeding issues, I will try these techniques for his next feeding.

Awesome looking guy. I've had similar success using the "bait and switch". Hold the live mouse up until he comes to attention. Then substitute the F/T. Make sure to hold on and give it a shake until he has totally wrapped the dead prey. Then yell "sucka!!"
I'm going through this currently with a female BP that was given to me. It has worked each time but I still can't get her to take the f/t without first smelling th live.

give him a live one, then try following up with a dead one right after the live. I've had balls switch that way. It will take a while but its better than live forever.

I finally got some nice (well nice to my standards) photos of this guy. He is as tame as they come but as of now is only interested in live food, any suggestions on converting him to F/T will be highly appreciated.
