thats a nice story.
Sounded like you were describing me.
Im the exact same ay when it comes to feeders. My boyfriend has to help me purge the feeder stock when feeding time comes.
Luckliy now I have 10/12 snakes eating f/t very well now. So soon I wont have to breed for feeders anymore.
I hope the bottle feeding goes well, ive never had to do that so i hope it works out! Good luck lucky!
