I adopted an adult bp a few months ago, and was informed she only eats live rats.... so, after having to keep rats alive for weeks and dealing with their smell and noise and not enjoying it one bit... I wondered if it would just be easier on the snake and myself to convert her to f/t.
She has one blind eye, and I noticed last feeding time that she seemed really stressed out about having the rat near her, so.. since they go off smell (usually always) instead of movement, I figured she really wouldn't notice the difference of live to f/t and probably go for it. I've heard blow drying it, dry thawing it, or dipping the feeder in meat broth would entice her to eat a f/t feeder.
I've also just heard, give it a shot without trying any tricks, because it could be that easy.. but.. in case it's not.. what tips/tricks can you guys offer? Anything is appreciated!
