    Fuzzies are too small for a even a hatchling. Bump up to small adult mice. Should be about the same width as the thickest part of the snake. A little thicker is okay.

    I would bump her to rat pups or even small rat weanlings over mice. It's easy to convert them while they're young & hungry.

    True story. Either works, whatever is easier to get a hold of.

    Are you doing live?

    I guess I don't understand why she would "freak" lol. just lay the feeder in there and see if she'll eat it. Or you could try feeding a couple fuzzys at a time until she bulks up a little more.

    I have a few adults on live, but they came to me that way. A few I've managed to convert to f/t.

    My juveniles and baby BP's are all on f/t, as are all of my non-BP snakes.

    I have one ball that eats frozen or live. I prefer frozen though
