So I'm gonna switch my girl over from live to f/t due to a few reasons. One being that I moved and have harder access to live rodents every week. Two being that she's a really really bad hunter. If I don't dangle and engage her with a live rodent she'll ignore it even when she's clearly very hungry. If the rodent hides she goes back to hiding too and never ever searches for it. I've never left a rodent unattended, but I have stepped out of her line of vision off to the side and supervised many times. She literally doesn't seem to get it. And if I walk by she'll track me and try to strike at me through the glass. But she never ever bites when I handle her. She really just seems aloof. I have to then get the rodent out of hiding and hope I don't get struck because by then it's been almost 40 minutes of her literally doing nothing, and keep dangling it and showing it to her. She'll then eagerly go after the rat and eat happily, but it's been a pain in the butt. I'd like to be able to keep a months or more of frozen food for her and just not have to also have her play the hunting game. It doesn't even seem like enrichment anymore haha
I've never fed f/t before. I didn't see a sticky about it from where I looked. Any advice? A good reliable 'how to' other than what I can google?
Thank you!!
