Does your BP take f/t?

mine wouldent eat live at all and went 3 weeks before i "ASSISTED" them (they are hatchlings BTW) so now they eat F/T mice all the time

You might find that, after your girl is up to weight and has been bred, she'll switch on her own.

I have a 10+yr old female that I adopted a couple years ago. She had always been fed live and nothing I tried would convince her to eat F/T. I would hold out on her, waiting for her to take F/T for many weeks before I'd offer her a live rat. I finally gave up trying after a year or so.

Last year, she bred with my male pastel and THEN started taking F/T. I have no idea why, however once she switched she's one of my best eaters.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing!

I couldn't vote, since two of my BPs take FT (and PK, and whatever looks and smells like a rodent!), and the other two only accept PK. ALL my corns, though, are finally on FT! :banana: AND everyone who is on FT is on rats!

And I'll be trying to convert those two BPs to FT ASAP. :) But, since one is that rescued pastel male who was off food all winter and recently got back on, and the other is my brand new albino male who I forgot to inquire about feeding habits on from his previous owners, I think it can wait a while.

i bought mine from a guy who had fed live for 2 and a half years so switching it to F/T is a challenge
