    It's the small victories that are most gratifying!

    My 6 year old Pastel male bp has never taken a F/T rat. He usually even ignores live rats. I had to feed my baby burm today so I figured I'd try the F/T rat with the bp first. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Well he is swallowing it as I type!

    Just thought I'd share. I really hope this isn't a fluke. It's so much easier to keep frozen rodents.

    It's never too late to try! I pretty much did a victory dance when one of my eyeless took F/T without hesitation And A 5 y/o male pastel I recently acquired looks more and more interested every time I offer. No dice yet on him though

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya on your next feeding attempt!

    Try this:

    Tell him that you are going to feed it to a baby burm and he will have to wait another week for another shot if he doesn't take the f/t. That worked for me!
