I agree. All balls have totally different personalities. My hatchlings have no problem going back and forth from whatever food source I want to feed them. Adults are not so quick to switch. I work closely with a business partner on a few projects. One of our co-owned snakes a lav albino female is about 2 years old. She was exclusively raised by her breeder on asfs. We got her when she was 9 months old. She will not feed on absolutely anything else but asfs. She is the only reason he has asfs and breeds them exclusively for her. Ultimately she will stay around with us. I think the thing that kind of irritated us was we didn't know until half a dozen refusals of rats. We were told she was a food pounder and we didn't worry about it. After I called the breeder only then was it said that she is exclusive to asfs. I assumed she was a rat eater and that was my bad. I guess when I give advice about asfs this girl comes into mind. Just like any ball they can and will make food preferences. Asfs were not easy for us to get and they weren't cheap either. I choose to tell people that if you don't have easy access to asfs then to be aware of buying exclusive asf feeders, or making it a habit of feeding asfs.
Just what I've personally seen. This goes for any food source. Some will switch back and forth no problem. Others will Not. Unfortunately for some asfs are not as plentiful as others.
