They fell smooth. Are you sure its's a bp? If it feels rough it might have stuck shed all over it. Sometimes bp's just dont eat. Try again in a week or two. Also might want to take it to the vet to get it checked out for parasites and such...

Maybe its skinny?When theyre skinny they have the loose skin that wont exactly be rough, but the folds from the loose skin will feel rougher i suppose?
