Would you keep her?

I have a few that need a mouse or two to get started feeding again after their hunger strikes. I let them have mice for a few feedings, then on the next feeding follow a mouse with a rat pup that has crawled around in mouse shavings when their feeding response is still high from the mouse. It's worked with a few of mine.

She's a gorgeous mojo. I'd keep her and try to work with her so you can have your BELs one day. Good luck!

Send her to me and i will try to get her back on rats for you and then i will send her back

Thanks :gj:

She looks good and already has more than a year's age on her. She may not be the biggest 2009 out there, but too many people disregard age in favor of size. I'd much rather breed a 1500 gram 2.5 year old than a 2000 gram 1.5 year old.

If she's eating something, keep her. Work on getting her on rats. Try to feed F/T mice to keep the smell down.

Joe, I'll be happy to take that snake off your hands(if you decide to sell)..name your price!

Joe i ve had the same problem with my albino het pied female. She would lunge for f\t rats no sooner than her tub was opened. Then she went on a break. Tried live small rat,f\t small rat, no dice. Live mice she would eat 2-3 a week. Tried switching her back no luck. I stopped trying to feed her for just over a month laid a frozen thawed small rat next to her hide and left it. Woke up checked her tub it was gone. She by far has been the pickiest eater i have ever dealt with. Going to give it another shot on sunday and see if she takes it.

im in the complete opposite poition.
one of my females wont switch back to mice... i only want her on mice because rats are way to expensive over here ($5.00 ea.) and i still live at home so i cant buy frozen my mom would freak out if she found a bag of frozen rats in the freezer.

i wish i we could trade lmao!

well goodluck!.

if everything else that's been posted fails, and you want to keep her, feed her mice. when she gives you a clutch of eggs and lost almost 1/3 of her body weight. that's the time I switch my stubborn ones. they will usually eat anything.

Send her to me and I'll send you a BEL when they happen! XDD I love mousers, and FT anything works for me!
