Re: These Brats won't Eat.ahhh.
Well they joys of Ball Python ownership strike again. I know this subject has been touched upon countless times. But, I thought I would share my frustration. Just when you think you have your collection figured out they ban together and go on a feeding strike. LOL. Ya got to love it. Today being feeding day, I went down to the snake room, prepared a wonderful dinner for them and, well guess they didn't like my cooking, at least half decided not to eat tonight. Well guess next time I won't make so much. Oh well, still love them. Hope this strike ends soon. If I could only get them to eat like my Boas.

Yup, I know that one. WHY WON'T YOU EAT?!?!?!?!
... Then you get that one day when everyone (or almost everyone) eats and its like Christmas.
... Then they crush your dreams again with another pointless hunger strike...
Welcome to the world of owning ball pythons.

No doubt. They are cool animals though. Wish I could figure them out, when it comes to feeding.

My entire Hypo project went on a 3 week fast, 2 gals and a guy. It was weird, like they were intentionally trying to set me back. They all stopped on the same day and started back up on the same day. Weirdos.

Too funny. Ya if they would even eat live I would try that but they are all mostly on f/t and don't want to work back up. I'm down to only 1 that eats live rats and 2 that are live mousers. All the rest are f/t. I thought about starting them into live again, but IDK. Think I would be stepping back a step. Thought this may bring on a better feeding response but IDK. I've done my homework when it comes to this and not convinced it would change things.

I have had to step back to live temporarily on occasion.

Really, thought it would be harder for f/t again. But I guess not , if your doing so.

Re: These Brats won't Eat.ahhh.
ahahaha, man, I feel you. Yesterday was feeding day. That poor little rat, she got shipped over everyone's tubs, and nobody wanted her. She lives to see another day. Only one that's feeding with any sort of predictability is my little baby!
