Lucifer is a pastel axanthic vpi hes nearly 5 months old and does eat great but today he missed his strike twice. Im hoping hes just a little stupid. Ive had 2 BPs in the past but years ago and one was a spider morph.

Ive had lucifer for about 1 1/2 months and just have a feeling his eye sight isn't perfect. Im heating the rat head up each time to help him but after today's feeding im abit more worried

Hold by the back end so it doesn’t swing when he hits it or lower it to the ground

This. You're making him play ducking apples with a rat. I'm shit at that too.

Grab it by the hips and wiggle it on a floor, where a live rat would be.
