Here's me situation, I have a picky normal female who i want to breed this coming season. During the winter she rarely eats ( once every month and a half maybe to once every two months). However during the summer for about a month she eats like a champ. This was the month of august and i fed her as much as she wanted about 8 small rats for the month. Now she has stopped eating, but is still only 1150 grams. Shes going on her third winter and i really want to put some weight on her for the breeding season. Shes completely uninterested in f/t so I was thinking of trying live, but i dont want her to only take live from now on, i just want to get her feeding until she reaches about 1500 grams and then get her back on the f/t. Do you think this is a good idea or should i just stick to f/t?

Thanks alot
