Have you ever given up on a hatchling who won't eat?

If your willing to let your feeder thaw partially if not completely above the enclosure where your snake can smell them you will find a BIG difference in getting them to eat f/t. Mine now responds in such a way that by the time I have thawed ( 2 - 2 1/2 hrs.) and then heated it, she's practically coming out the top trap door waiting to eat.

Yes. I do that. The problem is I am a breeder and have over 40 ball pythons, and many are great eaters of thawed, but many are not!
