    I have 2 that are shy eaters. I just lay the rat (FT of course) by its hide and within 30 minutes they eat. No constricting, nothing.

    id also say make sure ur feeding it the correct size, if in doubt try a smaller size just in case they think its too big! if it goes down great u got something in them!! i know everyone wants to get them fatter with bigger items! but a small meal is a meal!

    I am a stickler for the 10%-15% rule and weigh all my feeders beforehand.
