I feed my snakes both live and f/t. Having two snakes (200 grams and 300 grams) not eat for 3-4 weeks consecutively because I was offering only f/t is not a good feeling, especially because they are so young. I decided tonight feed my pastave, who was previously on live prey, a live rat pup and after a little hesitation, he slammed it down no problem. I have to say that it gives me a lot more peace of mind knowing that my snake has eaten, and I think sometimes, you have to just give in and feed them what THEY want to eat, not what YOU want them to eat. If you get my drift.

It's important for me to keep trying to switch them to f/t, but I'd rather have a strong live eater, rather than a weak f/t eater. Hopefully they switch to f/t for me some day, but at this point, Im just ecstatic that he actually ate for me for his first time tonight!
