    If your ball isnt eating look at this!

    EVERYONE in my collection of 6 bps ate today witch makes me verry happy!
    I have 2 feeders that wont miss a meal 2 iffy and 2 finicky. i don't know if it was the fact i switched my collection over to aspen or not or the trick ive seemed to discovered. This is what i did. I soaked my 2 finicky eaters in my bathtub with 90-96 degree water for about ten minuites and then after the ten miniutes with the water still in the bath tub i dangled the mouse and BOOM both of them ate. If you have finicky eaters try this and let me know if it works. Coincidence? I dont think so... try this and let me know!

    ^ I am wondering, too.

    And that water is a little hot don't you think? If I need to soak I make sure I use luke-warm water..

    Honestly that doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand how putting them in water would make them want to eat.....

    Well...whatever works I guess.

    Re: If your ball isnt eating look at this!

    i dont either... but it works and this is the second week it worked for one and just tried it with the other and it worked for both of them. Also i tried ti feed the one that it worked on last week in her tub, no dice. In the water boom, no hesitation. That is why i am putting this up here in hope of someone trying this with their snakes and seeing if it works or if im just goint nuts . If it works and get them eating it makes me happy.
