Is F/T worth the trouble?

[seeya205]

Thanks to everyone for the opinions... gave me a lot to think about! Tonight was feeding night, and I went with live b/c I'm not ready to deal with the conversion quite yet. I bought 10 adult mice (as I explained earlier, I don't often feed rats), and here's what the results were:

Toby - ate 3
Delilah - ate 2
Pedro - ate 2
Vinnie - ate 2
Orlando - ate 1
Rosalind - refused (I think she prefers rat pups)
Mona - refused (she's been on a breeding fast since mid-Aug, but I always offer)

I think that's a pretty good ratio, and when Ros & Mona refused I was able to feed the extras to Pedro & Vinnie... for me that is best, and so far I'm the only one who's been bitten by a rodent. I will try converting them over time, since F/T will be easier and cheaper as my collection grows. For now I'll probably stick with live, though, since I like how consistently they feed. Thanks again for the input!

Do whatever works best for you and your snakes!
