Thanks everyone for the replies. I do much prefer to feed f/t but I have two bp's that will not take f/t at this time. I am hoping to switch them both back to f/t eventually.

Its been over a week now and I haven't seen any signs of mites - so hopefully I cleared them out.

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how to get these two to eat f/t? My female use to eat f/t but then went on a 7 month fast and it took offering live to get her to eat again - now she won't take f/t anymore.

My other live feeder came to me this way - he is 5 years old and the breeder said he never was able to get him to take f/t - this one may be a lost cause in trying to switch him over at this late age.
