    Yeah, unfortunately PetCo is the only store around here that I know sells live. I have two other pet stores around me (Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus) but they don't sell live. The petco is about a 30 min drive there too. I'm not aware of any mom and pop stores around my area.

    Hopefully once you get the feeding response back you can switch to f/t. I prefer live

    You see the biggest perplexing thing to me is the fact that this little bugger is out all the time now. He's is literally always moving around his cage, and rarely uses his hide. I don't get it!

    My girl was starving herself, literally, she was that hungry she was striking at us... but still wouldn't touch f/t for 2 months. I got a 3 live fuzzies and she ate them in minutes.... I went to hoppers than adult mice now I'm switching to rats and she's having issues again, some just want what they want!!!

    Okay, I've called my two local petcos and with out tail they have some small mice that are about 2 inches. Is that a good size? Too small?

    You will have to look at them in person... if they look equal to the widest part of your snake they are good, they can be a little bigger so don't worry if its not spot on

    I have good news!!! I went to Pet Supplies Plus (a lot closer than petco) and purchased a little mouse for him to see if it would work. I made a deal with the mouse, if after 20 minutes and he was still alive I would put him out in the field on my property. Needless to say 30 seconds into our deal the mouse was already being swallowed.... So my little Mojave man is no longer on a hunger strike! Thanks to all who helped me over the last week. I really appreciate it!
