Arnold is the pickiest eater on the planet. Last month he went a month without eating and I finally caved and tried a live mouse....refused several times, but finally ate one. Tried again for the next few weeks with no luck. It's been three weeks and he's been refusing my f/t rats. I thaw them out, then run them under hot water in a zip- lock to get the temp up, then run a little hot water on them to get a good scent going...no luck :-(
Tonight I did the same thing, but added a step. I took a shot glass and put some chicken broth in it, then nukes it for 30 sec, then dumped it in the zip lock so the rat was covered. Lowered the rat near arnold's hide...he hid for about a second, head came out and tongue flicked once, then... Boom! He struck and wrapped around that rat and held it tight...it was a thing of beauty...hope this helps anyone out there who's having the same problem with their balls...I'll sleep better tonight :-)
