    Vypyrs has got everyting spot on. ^

    I too will be switching my new lesser hatchling to f/t once I get her. And I was wondering, should I try and feed her one live rat first (after I wait a week for her to settle in?) I feel like feeding her a live rat at first will make her feel more secure at my house because she is already getting the option of food; however, I am also reluctant to feed her any live meals at all because I dont want her getting "stuck" on live. Should I just make the transition right away as soon as she moves in with me & attempt to only feed her f/t ?

    How long do I keep trying to feed f/t until it becomes unhealthy for her to not eat? My snakes well being is my biggest concern, so if after a decent effort at getting them on f/t, how long until I should give in and just feed her live?
