I have a 2 year old female Normal BP that has been refusing frozen thawed for the past 5 months now - it has been suggested to me by the breeder that I now offer live in order to get her back on feed. **note** my other three snakes are all feeding fine - all kept in the exact same cage setup.

I have never fed live before and don't know how to do it. Do I dangle it from the scruff of its neck or the tail with tongs? Do I just drop it in the cage and hope for the best?? What do I do if she won't eat the live rat either - what do I do with it - kill it and feed to one of my other snakes??

This is a new stage in snake keeping for me and I need some help and advice.

Thank you.
