Question about feeding frozen
I have been feeding my snakes F/T for a while now and all eat take it just fine (except for 1) One of my snakes that always took F/T since I switched them over. The last 4 times i tried feeding her F/T and she flat out refused to eat. Today she ate F/T again. My question isdo some snakes stop taking F/T evn after eating it for a while?
Re: Question about feeding frozen
I don't know if f/t prey is the issue. Some snakes will take unexplained food breaks for weeks if not months. As long as your husbandry is dialed in, and the snake's not losing any significant weight, it's usually nothing to worry about.
Re: Question about feeding frozen
I misunderstood your original post G. If your snake has eaten frozen thawed consistently then there's really no need to offer them live even if they skip a few meals. I can imagine many snakes would "prefer" live food but if they'll eat f/t readily I would stick with that. If you condition them to think that if they refuse f/t then you'll give them a live feeder, they may well refuse f/t. When my snakes miss a meal I don't offer them food again until their next feeding day and only f/t. I have fed live when my snakes would take long food breaks during winter or breeding season, but that's after months of refusals. I try to wait them out but sometimes a live feeder will kickstart their appetites.
