So my normal got bit tonight by her small rat. I'm cleaning it up, but I'm so frustrated with feeding. Some of my snakes eat like champs, spot on every time. Two will only eat soft furs or mice. And my normal and two het pieds eat maybe once every other week.

My questions are these: how long do you put a rat in and leave it before saying too bad and removing it for next time? Am I just stressing out for nothing? I know they can go off feed, I just want them to eat (mainly so I don't have to house the leftovers). All of my snakes were on live before I got them, and I worry that if this is frustrating, switching to f/t will drive me insane. Suggestions?
