So I've recently decided to switch Xander (my Bp) to F/T mice because it would be more convenient for my parents to feed him when i go off to college in about a month and a half. That way I can just stock up in the freezer lol

Well I did the trial run tonight. My ball is far from picky foodwise. But it did take about 15-30 mins of effort for him to take it. I thawed it...then had to reheat it w the hairdryer every so often and finally he bit into it.

The question is. How long does it take to fully transition them to F/T. Where they will accept it without any hesitance? A few weeks? I'm just wondering if he will eventually get used to it.

here are some pics.

He played with it for awhile. swinging it around by the tail.


He decided to eat it tail first....


I just walked away after seeing this... figuring it would take awhile for him to figure out he needed to put the other foot in....
