    Bad feeder

    I am assuming that some f/t can end up bad even if only thawed once?

    I fed my bp's last night, one of the feeders looked deflated a bit while I was thawing. When it thawed it looked better but underweight from the others that were being used. The I just figured it was a runt. The snake I fed it to is picky but usually will eat if the feeder is zombie danced for a couple minutes. Didn't take so I left it alone for a bit & still was there. So I gave it to my Mojave female who will eat anything & has never refused a meal. She grabbed it instantly.. I went back about 15min later & she just left it, I shook again & she went to the other side of the tub to get away. Seemed weird so figured I would ask in case I see anymore in the batch I have.

    Thanks!

    It's possible, I have a couple garbage disposals too, generally if it's refused by one of them I toss it. They may smell something we can't see you know?

    Was there any chance it could have thawed partially at some point? I had a bag that was partially thawed due to the hurricane knocking out power and none of my snakes touched any of those. Could be something or maybe they just didn't feel like eating
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
