Mine was on live mice with the breeder, but instantly took f/t with me. I tried waiting the entire week to let her settle in, but she'd eaten a week before she shipped to me and windshield-wiped until I caved at 5 days. She switched to rats only two feeds later. I want to see if she'll take chicks or maybe even reptilinks, but that'd have to be a bit further down the road financially lol.
