    Re: F/T Hamsters for picky eaters

    The most important part is getting the f/t warm enough to attract the snake to strike it.
    In my experience picky eaters don't care for rodents dangling in front of their faces and are much more likely to eat live.
    Perhaps I will buy a heat gun and try again with the frozen prey.

    What is the optimum temp when offering f/t to picky eaters? I never measured the temp when offering them (though she seemed utterly repulsed by f/t after she went on her hunger strike, after eating them faithfully for the first two years of her life).
