Well if none of you knew, I have 2 pastels, that would not eat f/t for me at all. They would only take live mice or rats.

Well today I lucky enough to hit the jackpot, and I am now pleased to say that both of my pastels are now F/T eaters

Thanks to everyone who gave me awesome advice!

PS. Marc, you were right, this pastel male has a very high feeding response! The mouse didn't even hit the floor! Haha!

Gratz Mine has eaten only F/T so far, but everyone - my family, friends, neighbors - want me to feed live :\

I had to feed them live for a bit, and I hated it. It's not that its cruel, its nature. It's just the thought that "what if" that mouse or rat bit my snake while it was being constricted.

Good job, it is defiantly not worth the risk. I just adopted a 4' male that had never eaten F/T but luckily for me he doesn't even seem to notice a difference.

Thats awesome! Good luck with him!

good to hear! both of my normals wouldn't eat f/t when i first got them.. it took me about 2 months to switch them but they're doing well on f/t now!

don't do it! if your snake is eating f/t don't take the risk of feeding live.. stick to what you're doing.. people sometimes just want to see snakes eat a live animal because they think its "cool", i can understand feeding live out of necessity (which i have done with both of my BPs, and i didn't have a problem with it) but feeding live for entertainment should never happen

live are usually more expensive anyways, and can hurt your snake.. let the neighbors try to constrict a mouse to death and see if they like getting bit by a nasty rodent!
