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.
