    Best way to switch to FT
    So Ive decided to try to switch every one over to FT. How do you guys do it? I had 2 that took no problem and 1 that was in shed so she turned down ft and live and one that would just smell the ft but not take it

    Defrost, warm up with hairdryer, and do the zombie dance with long forceps.

    x2

    I thaw out the rat in warm water, then use a hairdryer (set on low) on it for a few minutes, mainly focusing on the head, stomach and upper body. I hardly ever even have to do the zombie dance anymore, she just grabs it right away, but I'm sure with some bps you might have to. Some will probably take longer to switch than others too.

    Hope this helps!! :)

    tough love.
    thats how to get the switch.
    dont give in if he/she wont take it the first time.
    or the 2nd or 3rd.
    BP's are picky and will be very stubburn if you let them get to you.
    but if you fall for the puppy dog eyes,
    you'll cave just like i did. :gj:
