    So, I usually feed my BP every 2-3 weeks, 2 rats back to back. Many times he has done this, but the last 2 feedings, he'll eat the first one, then I throw in the other one and the rat can crawl all over him and he doesn't do anything. He looks pathetic. What should I do? Only feed 1 at a time now? Grab the rat and let him go? Thoughts?

    Not a problem. BPs are known to switch around their feeding habits. A general guideline with live is if they don't take it after 20min, they aren't going to (make sure all live feedings are supervised, too! :p ). You can keep offering a second rat, who knows, maybe he'll go back to taking two.
