A Word Of Thanks
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who posts and answers questions on the Forum, no matter whom they have answered.
It all serves to the benefit of everyone.
My reason for this is as follows:
I have a Pastel Enchi female who has not eaten for 8 months, and although she has lost 300gr. in weight over that period,
she still looks okay, weighing in at just over 1500gr. currently.
I have tried Live Rat, Pre-Killed Rat, F/T Rat, and the same with mice, no luck, she will not eat.
I was reading through some posts, and I forget who it was, but someone commented that when all else fails, ASF's are like desert for BP's.
So I thought, give it a try, why not, nothing to lose and everything to gain.
This weekend past, I tried ASF's, let me add, that supply of ASF's is no problem at all.
She immediately smashed and ate 2 ASF's yesterday.
Once again, Thank You to everyone who takes the time to comment, answer and post on the Forum.

Re: A Word Of Thanks
Great to hear! Gerbils/Gerbil scented work well also for hunger strikes and/or picky hatchlings.

And hamsters often do the trick as well....I used to breed them & sold many to pet stores, only the ones with good temperaments. Any with less-than-stellar
temperaments were well-appreciated as snake food. Pre-killed only, of course! And that made for both happy snakes and happy hamster owners. A win-win.
