Hey,

So I got a baby ball Sat Sep. 10th. The breeder said they fed her live rat pups every Friday. I left her until the Friday and offered her a f/t pup and she took it after about 20/30 minutes. The following Friday I thawed a pup the same way and offered it to her, but she was not interested at all. Last night I offered her another f/t pup. She was in her hide, but came out once she smelled the rat. She was very interested in it and would approach it and smell it. I eventually just placed it in her tank for her to take when she was ready. She continued to smell it, and was almost touching it, and then she went back into her hide. I decided to try to blast it under the hair dryer for a couple of min to give it some heat, and zombie danced it in her tank, and again she came out of the hide getting really close to the rat, but wouldn't bite.

I was wondering if I should offer her pre-killed in a couple of days, or wait another week to offer another f/t as it would be 3 weeks without food if I wait until next friday. What else can I do to entice her to bite the f/t rat?
