I picked up a pair of baby prb's recently and the female is eating f/t fuzzy mice without a problem, but the male has yet to eat for me. I've tried f/t fuzzy mice and pinkie rats as well as live. They are both about two months old. Anyone out there know any tricks that might help?? Any advice is much appreciated!

Jeff,
...Baby BRBs are eating machines. If they quit eating it is usually because of how they are being kept or how or what they are being offered for food. If they are kept too hot or too dry they will go off feed. If they are stressed by too much activity or too much light they will also quit eating. They will feed best at night with minimal disturbance. Their favorite food is live hoppper mice. They will often pass up a live pinky or small fuzzy mouse and readily take a larger mouse that runs around. Some of them like live pinky rats almost as much as hopper mice.
Good luck,
Jeff
