13 Year Old Ball Finally Converts To F/T!!
Well she finally did it! About two weeks ago my 13 yr old girl took a small F/T rat. I didn't want to celebrate until she repeated it. And she did repeat it last night.
My Boa switched over a month earlier no problem!
I wish to thank the members of this forum for the success and encouragement towards others which helped me to decide to push forward.
Some things which helped aided were:
She recently came off a 6 month fast. She has only had one live rat so far.
I sort of starved her out by waiting 2 weeks past the last refusal.
Offered a small rat in lieu of a large one.
Prescent the tank real good to fire up her senses.
Live rats run about 88-90 degrees temp wise, I heated these F/T up 100-103 Degrees because of cooling down during long Zombie Dances.
Patience, and trying to learn the right dance moves.
Thank you again everyone.
If my 13 yr old can switch, yours can too!!

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
