im having the same issue w/ my snake not wanting F/T weaner rats. he would eat f/t mice when he was a juvenile and then he started to become picky and only take live mice.

now he is 3ft long and 1 1/2 years old and eats 2 large mice every other week. i have attempted feeding small f/t rats and have had no success.

i have tried tricking him by feeding him the live mouse and then the small rat but once he smells it he loses interest. i can either dangle it in front of him or drop it in the feeding box and he just turns the other way.

any tips on how to try and convert him over to f/t rats or mice? it is much cheaper!
