I just put my baby BP in a curver-box when I feed her. Drop the mouse in and she will attack emediately. After she finished the mouse I put her back in her terrarium.

How old is yours? Has he/she eaten already (with you or with the previous owner)? And are you feeding live of dead?

Starting out with a hatchling, you may need to use live or A/K (almost killed, i.e. twitching) prey. After you get it eating regularly, and establish a routine, you can try to switch to P/K or F/T meals. It is a matter of personal preference if you feed in it's enclosure, or take it out to feed. I used to remove mine when I fed live so I could closely supervise, but they are eating P/K and F/T now, so I just toss it in, and they get to it when they want to.
The paper bag method is usually for problem feeders, but don't do it with live prey!
