    What do people do with "refused prey"?
    We feed our BP frozen/thawed mice.

    She has refused a few times since we had her....the first 3 times are because we just tried to feed her during shedding but we don't even bother trying to feed her during a shed anymore.


    After her last shed she ate 2 weeks in a row but last week refused for unknown reasons and this week ate again.

    I understand they are picky but these mice die for them to eat so I just want to know what people do with "refused food"?


    We throw our snake's refused food out in the yard.(I hope others don't throw them in the trash)

    Re: What do people do with "refused prey"?
    I get mine killed, but if they deny then i freeze them an thaw them out next feeding and my snakes take them easy.
    Though my male likes pre/thawed killed more then my female does.

    I know lots of people who throw out dead animals in the trash. [Mostly rabbit breeder since i know more of them] But, i do not think that's allowed, i am pretty sure animal services is supposed to take all dead animals even if they are babies.

    Feed them to another snake. If they don't eat it, then it goes into the trash.

    Like many others, I feed the refused prey to another snake. I don't have that many snakes yet, but there is always one that is willing to take it. :gj:
