I already made a thread showing my first ball python! He is a super pastel male. However, I have had him for a week now and could not get him to eat.
I tried F/T Rat Pups and F/T Rat Pinky and had no luck =(. He would completely ignore it.
So today I finally went and got a LIVE hopper mouse which I did NOT want to do but I know its crucial for hatchlings to eat. I waved it in front of him with tongs and he snatched it up and ate it right away.
So now comes the question.... am I going to have a problem eater when it comes to F/T? Or maybe he still only wants live because hes a baby and ONLY WEIGHS 65 GRAMS? Maybe he is still used to mice and not rats because they told me they fed him mouse hoppers since he was born.
When should i try again with F/T and should i stick to mouse hoppers? Again like I said he only weighs 65 grams.
thanks. I love him though hes my first ball python and hes beautiful.
