    Feeding questions
    I have posted a couple of threads regarding feeding, all of which are "inspired" by this one problem feeder bp (very young) at the pet store I work at.

    I am assuming the supplier fed him live mice while he had him, but we don't feed live (unfortunetly) at the store.

    If I feed him a live mouse, will he be "hooked" on live mice and refuse f/t forever after that? or if I feed him live a few times, will it make it harder to switch him on to f/t? or does it just depend on the snake?

    if you have any tips on how to entice a bp to f/t please post them as well

    ps. I am pretty sure he has only had 1 or 2 live feedings, and has turned his nose to all the f/t we have offered him.

    be sure the f/t is warm enouph, and rubb it on a live mouse(or other live rodent) to get the sent.

    Yea, I tried that once with the bedding from a live mouse cage. I will try again soon though
