Will balls learn to feed on F/T??

Even if you buy or own balls that feed on live, can they be trained to eat on F/T...Seems to me like even if the snake does not eat for months that it would get so hungry that it would finally eat on a F/T...theory being...anything that is starving will eventually eat..is this correct or no?

Yes....in the process of switching all of mine over to f/t...it's no easy task...it is frustrating for some, but to answer your question, yes they will go from live to f/t

how long did it take for yours to learn to feed on F/T??

My younger ones fed almost immediately but the older ones that are used to live would refuse a few feedings. Going off feed isn't something to be overly worried about.

One of my females is the scrab collector, she will eat any and everything you put infront of her, live dead frozen small medium large brown white spotted it doesnt matter.

But BP's are known to be picky eaters, in most cases if your feeding live right now, start killing the mice/rats before you feed, once used to that the switch to thawed, going live to thawed is a big jump so go live/prekilled/thawed.

So ppl own BP's that just WILL NOT eat anything dead or thawed, just depends on how comfortable you are starving them for too long.
