WooHoo! Now all 8 of my snakes take FT rats!
Some may remember Sunspot, that pastel I was handed in the pet store almost two years ago that was in such bad shape. Well, he flourished more and more...but always on PK adult mice. Since he was a success story, I really didn't mind, but when he was the last mouser of the bunch it became a bit inconvenient.
But last night, on a whim (and because I was using up the rest of my frozen rats before the move) I offered him a thawed weaned rat. He hesitated a bit, flickering it here and there, and I thought it would be no go. But then he snatched it from the tongs with the same enthusiasm he always had!
Now I just have to see that it wasn't a fluke one time thing.Unfortunately, that's going to have to wait until after we're all settled in after the move. Eh, hopefully he'll be hungry enough after two weeks to take the rat again.
