I have 3 issues,

First how long should I go on trying to feed frozen thawed before switching back to live and giving up. I intentionally missed a few meals with my live eaters in hopes to convert them to f/t, 2 of my 4 took f/t but two just hid away.

Secondly, I bought a proven yellow belly male of a reputable breeder about 3 months ago. I have tried live, and frozen even left a frozen small rat over night and have not had any success in getting him to eat. I spoke to the breeder and they suggested I add a hide and leave a crawler rat overnight in the 41qt tub so I did. All the temps and humidity is spot on. Just cant seem to convince this guy to eat. Any other suggestion.

Thirdly and last what do you with a scared eater. I have one snake that I am frankly surprised hasn't starved to death because of fear. He curls up into a ball whenever live or f/t food is presented and then it is a crap shoot whether or not he will eat or not.
