    Talking She ate Pre-Killed

    YAY!!!! Fed Serena (my normal ball) last night. I have been stressing about having to feed her live...don't like to do it. Well, decided to take the plunge and try feeding her pre-killed. I took the fresh killed rat, dangled it in front of her nose, and WHAM!!! she took it no problem. I am SOOOO excited right now. Switching over to frozen thawed should be no problem, just ordered some actually. I am so happy about this, as I was always paranoid that she was going to get hurt with the live rat.

    I can't help myself. I gotta do the banana dance!!

    I also want to say thanks to everyone so far. This site has been GREAT!!! I have learned SOOO much that I never knew.

    Thank you all

    F/T shouldn't be a problem at all now. Just make sure you heat them properly. If it's as warm as a corpse, don't expect much action. If you warm it properly and heat the head appropriately, you'll have a disappearing rat act.

    Congratulations. When feeding F/T, proper warming and pre-scenting will make all the difference...

    Lucky you. My girl won't have anything to do with anything that's already dead.

    Have fun doing the "zombie dance"!
