    Then get mice! They definitely aren't hard to come by, and the snakes won't care either way. They grow exactly the same on mice or rats, so whatever is easier for you to get(looks like it's going to be mice) and whatever the snakes will eat(which isn't f/t right now), then you need to obtain it.

    Re: Pastel pair will not eat.

    If they never took a meal for you, your priority is really to get them to eat even if that mean you might have to feed live for a while, once they eat with consistency, you can attempt to switch them to F/T if this is what you want.

    If you don't come across rats, try mice and than again later on you can switch them to rat if this is what you want if you don’t want to or cannot find rats easily you can feed mice, it’s not a problem.

    i agree. try mice ASAP.
    i do however have ONE bugger who snubs mice everytime i try them on him, but will eat a rat like no ones business. if you have one of these rare idiot pets, then keep a frozen rat in your freezer and rub it on a mouse,
    sure its gross but it works!!
    and you gotta admit, it is funny in a disgusting way, especially if you are like me and CANT STAND RODENTS!!
