I rarely have a refusal, even in full blue. I figure if they're uncomfortable enough, they'll refuse.
ditto..

Mine get table scraps and all that, but I'm not sure about encouraging them to eat other animals... They do really well as it is, but Cristal hates rodents and kills them anyway... the others are just interested in them... no need to encourage that behavior though IMO.
Re: Feeding in shed: your thoughts..?
I feed no matter what. If they refuse becasue they are in blue, someone else just gets another rat!!
Re: Feeding in shed: your thoughts..?
i feed if they are in shed or not but its very frustrating when a snake refuses a f/t rat.
the whole defrosting and warming ordeal and throwing away the rat if no other snake will take a second one makes me want to start breeding rats and feeding live.

I dont feed carmen when she is shedding(she shed once) and she refused the week before she shed,but my corn cliff feeds no proiblem during shedding.
