Well I feed all my b/p's frozen thawed, but I have 4 out of the 9 who just would not catch on..soooo, I did what I swore I wouldn't do and went and bought 3 medium live mice...My female het ghost had not eaten since Feb. even though I offer her f/t ever week..I took the mouse, kinda tapped it against the table, opened up her cage and put the mouse in..That thing took 3 steps and the female raced out of her hide and wrapped that sucker up..I felt bad, but I guess that's the way it is...Then 2 of my 3 new female b/p's ate f/t for me without any problems or concerns...thennnn I put another live mouse in with a wild caught female b/p who hasn't eaten in about 2 months, I sat down on the couch and in about 5 minutes I heard this hell of a sound and the wild caught had taken the mouse even though people say that she would probably never eat for me...anyways just thought I'd share my feeding night with you guys.
