What I do to get my little bino eating (and all of my other snakes) is heat the rat up with a hairdryer on a low setting (so the rat doesn't cook) for 15 minutes or until the room is prescented pretty well and little snake heads are sticking out of hides looking for food. He eats every 4-5 days without fail, and his feeding response is nice and strong. Works like a charm![]()
