So I tried to feed bumble my mandarin rat snake some frozen thawed pinks on Thursday. He’s been feeding well on live and was even up to 2 every week. I thought it may be time to get him going on FT.

The first time I tried to feed him 2 and he ate one and wouldn’t eat the other. Since he had been eating two pet sitting for the last 3-4 weeks I decided to try and offer him one more on Friday. I did it off tongs and he struck each time but no grabbing more defensive strikes.

I waited until just now and tried to offer again. He was in his hide and he usually eats out front of there so I wiggled it in front and left it as I’ve done with live and he just left the hide and is now climbing.

I was really hoping he’d transition easy. This is my first time trying this so any help would be appreciated.

Should I stick to just offering or go back to live for a few weeks ? I’ve heard a few people say try one live one frozen and do it that way a little while.
