    So lets say you buy a live feeder....you take it home....put the snake does not eat it. What do you do with the feeder then??

    Toss him in the Microwave, throw some A1 steak sauce on him....

    Nah I'm kidding. Set up a small cage, aquarium, etc and keep a few feeders on hand. Or at least one? Thats what i'd do anyways. raising feeders is fun, as long as you dont keep em in your room to keep u up all night :D

    Before I started breeding my ASF's, I would by a months worth of live feeders, keep them in a 20L, give them some 6F & water.

    Same thing just happened to me. I kept the ASF in the feeding tub, gave it some water and dog food and returned it to the store the next day.

    Although I work at the store so that's a different story.. But I'd just keep feeding it and giving it water until the next feeding day.

    When this happens to me I have no where to put any live asf's so I freeze and thaw the next feed day. Just what I do but all my snakes have no preference they eat live or f/t. But if yours only eats live then I would go with what everyone else has said. That is just what I do I am not saying i is wrong or right but just what I DO.

    Give it to one of my greedy snakes who will happily take seconds!

    LOL< I kill and feed it to one of the monitor lizads if no snake will eat it.
    I think a little 5 gallon tank with water and food until he's ready to eat would be your best bet.

    I have a very small screen top terrarium that I use for that purpose. I put a bowl of water,some dry dog food and a carrot in there with aspen substrate and keep either one rat or a few mice in there until the next week.
