    Can't get my male back on FT

    My pastel male was doing great with FT for almost a year. After pairing him with my female he went on a fast for a bit. To get him back on track I gave him some live meals. Now he wont take FT anymore. Has this happened to any of you and were you able to get them back on FT?

    You may have to skip a feeding or two then offer f/t.

    1) skip a meal or two
    2) try fresh killed this week, f/t next week
    3) try a live rat half the size of normal prey immediately after the tail goes down try offering a f/t rat same size as live
    4) leave f/t in enclosure over night
    5) pre scent (30 min) (at night) then offer f/t
    6) try f/t asf this week, f/t rat next

    in two or three months come back if nothing worked and I'll give yeah a bunch more options .

    Thanks Jeremy. One of those has to work. If not, I'll shoot you a PM.
