I have a juvie ball python (born May 11) that came on live mice. I got her switched to rat fuzzies (she is only 90 grams, planning on sizing up after getting switched on frozen). I offer her first frozen was early last week but she was all blue with shed and refused. I waited till she shed (Thursday) then offered again today. Still refused. I thaw in a ZipLock in warm water then when thawed hot water from the tap. I do not own a hair dryer. Should I heat water on the stove?
She smelled it but no strike. I do not currently have tongs so I set it in and use a long screwdriver to make it move and wiggle.
My question is at her size and weight how much tough love can she handle? Should I wait till she's older to switch? My friend has gerbils. Should I bring some bedding to scent it? I left the thawed fuzzy on the hot spot when I left about 3 hours ago.
