    Chaos pickpants!
    So this morning is Chaos's day to be fed...thawed out the fuzzy all nice and toasty like he likes and i went to give it to to him and he checked it out then went back in his house and turned his back on me! WHY THAT LITTLE...so here's my question or questions...should i wait a bit an offer the delectable treat again, wait later in the day or wait until tomorrow? and How long can i leave the F/T mouseie out or should i refreeze the little bugger? :confused:

    You may try leaving it in with him for a while. Everytime mine have refused, I left it in with them and in a couple hours it was gone :)

    Don't refreeze it, that's just asking for trouble. You can refrigerate it, and offer it later today. I usually feed my guys in the early evening, they seem to feed better then. Or at least they used to, last night I only got three out of twenty three to eat, so what do I know?

    Your best bet is to feed in the evening or later at night. If you feed F/T and the snake doesn't immediately take, leave the mouse in the tank overnight. If the mouse is still there in the morning, toss it out and try again next week. Don't refreeze and rethaw though...
