Well if none of you knew, I have 2 pastels, that would not eat f/t for me at all. They would only take live mice or rats.

Well today I lucky enough to hit the jackpot, and I am now pleased to say that both of my pastels are now F/T eaters

Thanks to everyone who gave me awesome advice!

PS. Marc, you were right, this pastel male has a very high feeding response! The mouse didn't even hit the floor! Haha!
