My BP Mitch is around a year and a half old. I bought her October 1st of last year. I started her on live mice, then slowly worked my way up to live rats, which she ate a few in her life, but doesn't seem to like to eat them. The last 4-5 attempts to feed her the SMALLEST rat i can find has ended in failure.

I also tried the F/T approach, which was a miserable and terrifying experience for both Mitch and I! She didnt want to eat it, the rat was pouring blood from its face, and the skin from the tail slid off the tail bones... It was disgusting.

I hear people saying that some snakes just wont eat rats, but i REALLY want her to start eating them. I rather feed her 1 rat then 3 mice. With mice she kind of stalks them and eats them no problem. With rats she gets a little spooked and goes into her hide until i take the rat out. Any advice? Any tips? Help me please!
