Ah that sucks, I was hoping you had over looked that option. Yeah I don't know other then live. And with such a picky eater sounds like your going to have to present the live just right. I just went thru this with my little mojave female until I cracked the code. Well good luck I hope you put all the pieces of the puzzle together!

Thanks Rob. I hope if crack the code soon because it's getting very frustrating lol. For now I think I'm just going to switch her to live (assuming she will take them lol) because like Daybreaker said, at this point I need to be more worried about getting some weight on her because of her age/size. So I'll go the live route for now and maybe 6 or so months down the road, if she has gained a good amount of weight, I'll try f/t with her again. :D

Sounds like a plan, keep us posted

I had to offer my stuborn guy a hopper mouse to get him to start eating again after 3-4 feeding I went to rats and am slowly heading back to F/T hope this helps there is jsut something about hopper mice they seem to like

Well I went and got 2 live rat fuzzies today. They lasted all of 5 minutes with the 2 babies in question. I guess I know now that they are live eaters lol. Hopefully I will be able to switch them later down the road but for now I just want to get some weight on them. Thanks for all the advice guys and gals :D

You don't have to do this, it's just a suggestion but scenting f/t with crabsticks once or twice apparently works a treat, a few people I know swear by it :)
