    The things that get me excited...

    First of all, my new bumblebee ate a F/T mouse for the first time (she was eating live). Second, she pooped for the first time in my care! I get insanely excited for these things from my new additions xD

    Yay! Gotta love a hobby where poop makes you happy.

    I'm waiting for my albino's first poop. He ate his first mouse in my care on Monday. Live mouse mind you, because he's a horribly picky three year old mouser that had his first long term fast -- for six straight months.

    I hope he switches for you!

    Bailey is a 103g bumblebee that's roughly 7 weeks old. She's eaten 2 live hoppers for me and now the F/T hopper. Once she gets another 100g on her, I'll switch her to rats. I've only had her about 2 weeks so these are great milestones for me! I hope her transition to rats goes just as well as her transition to F/T.

    I'm glad she's switching over for you young. I'm worried about how successful I'll be switching my albino over since he's older (he needs to gain back some weight first), but even live small rats would be nicer on the wallet.

    I'm sure you're baby will do great! My youngest is 250g and he's a miniature garbage disposal. He eats anything if it's close enough to his face.

    It's always good when your snake switches to F/T because in the long run you don't have to worry about anything biting them and you can get a ton of proper sized feeders for a fraction of what places want live. Congrats on getting her to switched.

    I actually feed my ball pythons live and my corn snakes F/T because my freezer isn't big enough for frozen mice and rats. I've never had any serious injuries feeding live rats. The bee didn't want to eat rats when she was born and I want her to have some weight on her before getting her on rats. However, since I've got a freezer full of mice, it's more economical to feed her F/T. When she's on rats, ill feed her live like the rest of my collection. I also get my feeders from a friend and she doesn't change much so it's not burning a hole in my wallet.
