Does tough love really work?

[rabernet]

try makin a small incision on the nose just enough for a little bit of blood to show. it works on live prey, try it to see if it works on f/t

I sincerely hope that someone isn't making an incision on a live prey item..

I can only speak on converting from live mice to live rats. Tough love worked for me every time. It might take 4 to 5 weeks, but all of my former mousers are on rats. No braining, no incisions, no stunning of live prey. Just live prey offered as live prey, once a week until they were finally hungry enough to take it.
