I have a 1yr old ball python that I raised from a hatchling. As soon as she got big e nough I swithched her to frozen rats and she's feeding great on them. I also have another ball python that I adopted 8 mnths ago and it fed on rats for a few months and thenit refused to eat frozen period (rats and mice). So I decided to try life and it worked and therefore I started breeding my own mice. That second ball still refuses life sometimes but seems healthy otherwise and comes out and tryes to escape every night.

So I have two questions :
1) Do you think there is something wrong with my second bp?
2) Since I have plenty of surplus live mice should I feed them to my rat ball python? And is there any risk that he may not go back to frozen rats.

I have a boa that I've been feeding live and frozen all the time and he never refuses, as a matter of fact he demands food all the time .

Please advice on this since the mice are way too smal for the boa and I have plenty of frozen XLG rats for him.
