Well we have a 10 year old male that [used to] only likes live white mice. Well, last feed he finally took a slightly undersized rat for the first time in about 8 years. When my boyfriend first got him he tried feeding him f/t mice and rats but he always refused and never showed even the remotest interest.

Well, where we live now, live mice are very hard to find and are quite expensive when you do find them. We have a female that readily takes f/t rats and we have a large supply at hand. I know younger snakes are easier to switch from live to f/t, but has anyone had experience switching an older snake over? We have to thaw one out for our female this weekend so we figured we might try offering it at least to our male first. Should we give it a shot or should we wait to see if he'll take another live rat? Is it going to stress him out? He's always been more easily stressed out than our female, but she's just weird because she couldn't care less about anything. haha
