    feeding question

    hi tomorrow is feeding day and my bp hasnt refused a meal yet but ive been feeding fer rat fuzzies that dont move too much so it takes her a sec to strike till she sees it move.

    so my question is is it stressful to the snake if she doesn't take the rat fuzz then can i take it out and try a mouse hopper scenting it in rat bedding first cause i dont want to to get hooked on mice, this will be the first mouse she will have ever seen, the breeder fed her rat pinkys and i have as well.

    If your BP eats rat I would recommend you to keep feeding rats, switching always carry the risk that the animal might not switch back or might take a while before it does which you would ultimately regret.

    The problem may be in the prey size you are offering
