Same here.

I have had the best luck starting off baby BPs with adult mice, not hoppers, not fuzzies...adult mice. People like to complain "But they have such SKINNY necks! They can't POSSIBLY swallow an adult mouse!"

Yes...they can. And they do it every time, too. They just ignore hoppers and fuzzies half the time.
