    First f/t feeding for my redtail.

    Tonight is feeding night for my bp so I figured to make life easier I will feed my redtail the same night. I am excited this is the first time I'll be feeding him, also a little worried I hope this is way easier than trying to get my bp to eat for the first time. so any hints with f/t for my redtail?

    You shouldn't have any issues as long as the food is warm enough. They smell food, they go for it! Voracious eaters. Nothing like BPs.

    Yeah I just got a RTB and I was amazed how fast he took the food. They are not picky at all they will eat anything you put near them.

    Re: First f/t feeding for my redtail.

    Agreed with everyone else. Both of my BCIs are garbage pails and will eat pretty much anything I give them (which is F/T 99.9% of the time). Both of my male BPs are like that, but my female is like Ogre's, only she doesn't care if it is female or male. But it HAS to be white and it HAS to be live or she won't have a thing to do with it.

    My boa I just got, yeah she takes food like nothing else. I was way surprised when I had barely put the f/t mouse down in her enclosure when she went PHOOOOOM right over to it.
