Re: Feeding frozen thawed
I know exactly nothing about blood pythons, but have you tried leaving it alone with her for a few hours, or even over night?
Re: Feeding frozen thawed
Yeah. The first time I left it in over night. Second time I left it for a few hrs. She'll go up to it and flick at it, I may try braining next. I just hate thawing and freezing multiple times. Makes me wonder if its the rat lol.
Re: Feeding frozen thawed
It could be. I know I sure won't eat food that's been frozen more than once. :P
That braining trick might be a good idea.
Re: Feeding frozen thawed
If you don't want to put a rat in the oven, a space heater works well (for me at least). I found that a hair dryer shot too concentrated of a hot air beam so once I was done warming one area and moved onto the next, the first area was cold again after a minute. Placing the rat in scalding hot water also warms the entire rat nicely (after its thawed) and does so relatively quick.
I had trouble switching my guy to f/t, and he liked MOVEMENT. I just wiggle my f/t rats for my BP, but my Borneo wanted to see that rat scurry around the tub. Quick, almost jerky moves also seemed to catch his attention more.

Re: Feeding frozen thawed
Also you can try buying a human heating pad. I use those and fold the rats in them until they get nice and toasty.
