its honestly no big deal to let a BP go a while without eating. mine has gone as long as 5 weeks with out wanting to eat. and several times has gone 3 and 4 weeks. just let your BP get nice and hungry before offering food. next time you feed if your going to off p/k put the rats in the room for 30 to 60 min before killing and offering them. if feeding f/t let the rat thaw in the room and leave it in there for a while to get the feeding response going. that way you're not just waking it up by putting a rat in its face.
