Hi guys, my juvenille ball has never refused live mice but for the life of me i can't get him to take F/T, he's actually scared of it and goes into his hide. Tried leaving it in the cage overnight, still nada. Here's what im doing, maybe someone can show me where im going wrong.


Put the frozen mouse in a small plastic container, soak in slightly warm water about an hr and 15 mins


Add hot water until the water in container is very warm, but not scalding hot (dont want to cook the thing), leave another 15-20 minutes.


Pat down quicky w. paper towel to dry a bit, then offer. I wiggle it w. the tongs from up high, from the ground, doesnt matter. Someone please help, my boa takes FT no prob, but my ball is from a pet store and probably not CB so im starting to wonder if it'll ever happen.
