    what is the next step?

    hey.
    the second-to-last time my ball python ate was april 30th, when he ate a live mouse.
    throughout all of april, i have been offering both frozen mice and frozen rats of different sizes, using different heating methods. no luck.

    he was weighing around 180g and now he is at around 150g.

    so today i euthanized a mouse w the dry ice method. gave it to him and he took it right away.

    the problem is, the place where i buy feeders from only has very small mice, so i am trying to switch him to rats.
    should i give him a live rat? prekilled rat? frozen rat? should i continue with prekilled mice, switch to frozen mice, and then to rats?
    just don't know what my next step is.

    thank you
