    I bought at pet smart which includes temperature and humidity, which is set on bottom of hot side. When hot side reaches 90-92 lamp goes off. Humidity stays between 60 & 77%. As soon as I raised temperature up she went to cool side immediately. Got up this morning and she coiled herself around some cocoanut husk we put in her hide that she got down. She seems very content now. Boy how I can't stand teen age girls, lol I'm glad I don't have girls I'd go insane.

    Re: Please help BP not eating like usual

    I'm no expert, but if it's about getting your bp interested in the mice, have you tried pre-senting the room? I feed mine prekilled live, but let them make noise and scent the room around her cage for like 30 mins to an hour to get my bp interested. By then, she's really active and looking for the mice to eat. Before I started doing this, she was pretty much half asleep and not really expecting to be fed I guess...not that she's EVER had a problem with eating. She's really good about staying on schedule and hasn't ever skipped a meal.
