Just one more update.
The war is not won yet, but I feel like we've almost turned her over!
Seeing as she took fresh-killed last time. We've been trying to transition from fresh-killed to frozen.
Still staying with relatively small prey for her, we did the following:
- Offered 2 fresh killed. She took them quite readily.
- 6 days later, offered one fresh-killed followed by one frozen. She took the fresh killed and had an interest for the other, but would no go for it. Finally started nagging her a bit, wiggling the rat against the side of her. She finally struck, I think more annoyed than anything else, but ended up swallowing it.
- This week we've tried 2 frozen rats, with the same technique of rubbing them against her a little. It took a little while, but she has taken both!
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if she refuses them in the future, but so far I'm really happy that we've made such a quick progress in switching her.
Anyway, just thought I'd post again in case it helps someone.
Thanks
