What's next? (f/t switch)
After trying for about 4 weeks with no success, last week I decided to give a smaller live mouse then offer a f/t directly after. My ball struck but did not go any further, however it encouraged me trying it again this week. Lo and behold, she struck, constricted, and ate! My question now is how to approach the next feed. Since she ate the f/t once, will she do it again, or should I repeat the live before f/t process? Thanks in advance!

Try F/T again. If that is a no go, Pre-killed is a good choice.

I do things in 3s. 3 live meals in a row, 3 pre-killed then f/t. If at any point this does not go 3 in a row, I go back a step and start over. If they have been on f/t, they may revert and refuse and it may take live or p/k to get them eating again. At this point you start at whatever step and work your way back up.
60% of the time it works every time.
J/K, it usually works very well.
