Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Was he feeding when you bought it? What were they feeding him? Have you tried live?

Has it shed yet? When did it hatch?What size prey are you offering? What is the setup you have it in?
Sorry for all the questions, but it could be a number of things.
I've had good luck with live mouse crawlers(eyes just starting to open and crawling around cage) with picky babies. They seem less intimidating to some hatchling bp's. But if the setup isn't right for a hatchling it won't eat either.

A week is not that long... Check your husbandry, make sure everything is within comfortable range, and then try again in a week or so.
Stress is a big factor for little ones, so just give it some time and some space, make sure to give it plenty of water, and then try.

You might also consider that maybe it isn't hungry yet. Has it shed yet? Has it absorbed all of the yolk yet?
Try a smaller live fuzzy. One that has just gotten the coat of hair but it's eyes are not opened yet. Don't dangle though. Place it in the cage next to the snake.
I had great luck with the 07 imports using this as a feeder.
