    Making progress! (with f/t)

    I've been wanting to convert my snakes to f/t for a while now, mostly to save both time and money. Finally starting to make some progress, and if you include the corns I'm over 50/50 with them now. The Balls are still being stubborn, though, and only a few are consistently taking them. Here's what I fed last week, and who ate (or didn't eat) what...

    Julius: 1 rat
    Nerissa: Refused mouse (she's on a long fast)
    Delilah: Refused mouse
    Orlando: 2 mice
    Dave: 1 rat
    Toby: Refused mouse
    Rosalind: Refused rat
    Mona: Refused mouse
    Vinnie: Refused mouse
    Kipling (JCP): 1 pinkie mouse
    Corn snakes: 4 took a mouse, one refused.

    Should I continue offering only f/t to the picky ones, hoping they will eventually take it - or switch back to live for a week or two? I don't want them losing weight, especially since they're still growing, so I'm afraid to starve them into taking frozen. Also don't want to keep throwing out the leftovers! Any advice, tips, etc?
