How do I get my BP to eat frozen/thawed???

[Eventide]

I tried for two years to get my oldest female to take f/t mice, but after reading a tip from ProExotics, I finally got her switched over!

What I do is start with a live mouse. Once they take that, they should be in the feeding mode, and they should take f/t mice after the live one. Do this for a few weeks, and then try a f/t mouse from the start. If they take it, great! If not, then do the primer mouse for another couple weeks and try again.

Another fun tip: If you don't want to waste f/t mice (and/or if you have a snake that isn't eating very well), after you get the snake to eat one mouse, wait until they're almost done eating the first one and then stick the head of the next mouse near the front of the snake's mouth. Their instinctual feeding response kicks in, and they'll just keep right on eating the mouse you just stuck in their mouth. It's great for picky feeders!
