I have a 3 year old BP and I've had him for a few months now. For the past 6 weeks, I've been trying to make the switch off live (always eaten live) to f/t and not having any luck. I've gone through 4 large mice and 2 small rats so far. I thaw them in warm water for 45 min to an hour or so. I try wiggling them in front of him for awhile and also just leaving it in there overnight. He seems somewhat interested, but never bites. I've even tried dipping a couple in chicken broth. Can someone please help me out here? I'm tired of wasting these frozen rodents, but I think it eventually can be done. He hasn't eaten for awhile now and I'd figure he'd get hungry enough to tag one, but not yet. Please keep in mind, I'm not sure I can stomach knocking a live rat out to make the transition nor do I really want to cut the head to show brain (something I've read before). Please help!
