I feel the same way when it comes to feeding live, but eventually it might come down to that and your snake is more important than a feeder rat. I have a little female that is a little over 100g. and i gave her a 6 day old rat and right when she was about to finish swallowing i popped a f/t rat in her mouth and she took that at the same time. The next time i tried feeding her f/t she took it as if it was alive! I would recommend trying this, but if you do, be sure that the live and f/t rat will not be too much for her to eat when they are combined. Sometimes this works, and sometimes a snake will just refuse f/t but its worth a try. Hope this helps!
I never thought of that. That is an excellent idea. Thanks
