BAH! just eat already

I have a feeder that I'm keeping right now. I just set up a spare tub, bought a $3 box of "pet mouse and rat food" from wal mart. Bought a $1.50 water thing for them. It's better to be prepared that you might have a feeder leftover than to not be. Then you get stuck in sticky situations and panic cuz you weren't prepared.

The lady I get my feeders from will let me take a leftover back to her. I'm going to try to feed him off again tonight, if not then I'll probly be taking him back.

I thought I would get attached to leftovers, but I don't. I think they're cute, and they're super fun to watch... But the bottom line is if he doesn't get fed to my snakes, he'll get fed to someone else's. I guess I'm pretty used to it, having a problem feeder myself.

I would definitely recommend this method:

Works well, but can take a while.

Thanks for all the advice!:]

I just ended up keepin it... i found some mouse food i still had from when i had rats... and a wheel..so heck .. why not...

its been a week so im going to attempt to feed him again... wish me luck!

Or u could just feed it off to your other snake. If one of my snakes doesn't eat, it gets offered to the next and if I have any left overs I keep them in a 10gallon tank for a couple days.

When I first started out I was feeding live too, since it was what the previous owner had done (the two bps were 2 and 3 years old). Definitely had my fair share of hunger-strikes during that time. I know you're keepin it now, but in the future if its a "keep, kill, or let go" kind of scenario, I would go to some local shops and see if they will take it back off your hands. Some places will do it, some will not; but it's better to check than not! :gj:

Good luck on feeding soon! :snake:
