I did try this also but with a f/t and a prekilled (and a bloody prekilled at that). I left it there overnight with him again. He just pushes it out of the way and then goes to cruisin aroundPut a live rat fuzzy or pup in the opening of his hide and LEAVE. Let him find his food and eat where he feels safe. Make sure there are no distractions.I wake up in the morning just to find the rat pushed to the side of the hide a bit.
I will feed live if I have to. I wouldn't let him suffer, trust meI just thought I would go through all the tricks first before I went to live. I just hope that if I give him a live rat pup he eats it. For his sake and mine
I had to have the guys at the store kill the rat pups for me. Not easy being a vegetarian snake owner but I'll do what I have to lol
