    Hello From Pennsylvania

    Hello, my names Jason, I was looking for an informative site, and i think i found it, I'm a new owner of a baby ball, and after a lot of research and about a months worth of setting up her habitat, i finally got her. i can honestly say shes my best friend. now i'm having issues trying to feed her f/t mice, shes still small so i've been feeding her live hoppers, it seems that i've tried everything to feed her f/t but she shows no interest. Maybe one of you out there have some technique that could help me. i always watch her when she eats live but im concerned that when she gets older and shes eating rats i wont get to her in time and a rat will chew on her. My vet told me to check some forums on the web so here i am guys. I really appreciate any advice you can give me. thanks.

    What part of PA? I go to Philly several times a week. Yes, what monty said. Just keep trying. I have a lil albino boy who is starting to accept pre-killed, so I'm hoping he'll eventually just switch over to f/t. Sometimes it just takes a little while. Be patient .
