f/t question
So my collection consists of 0.1 normal 2500+, 1.0 Spider 1200+, 1.0 Albino 200g, 0.1 het albino 200g...
I bought a bunch of frozen rodents today hoping to switch over...the babies were interested and sniffed them but didn't eat, the normal didn't get a change to see what was goin on, and the spider didn't hesitate at all..The spider has always been on live feed, the guy I got him from told me that all he fed was live so that's what I've done for the past couple years not even thinking that he'd give f/t a chance, however this is the most aggressive bp in the world so it doesn't surprise me that he took it immediately...
anyways my concern is obv with the little guys, I want them to be on f/t and am looking for any tips on switching.
Also have a 1700g 0.1 pastel coming in the mail tomorrow and she'll need to be switched also..
thanks to anyone who can help

Here's some things to try:
Leaving the feeder in with them overnight
Heating up the head of the feeder very hot with a hair dryer before offering (so they have a good hotspot to aim for)
Pre scenting the whole room/area you have them with the feeder smell (by heating up the feeders with a hair dryer and blowing the feeder smell around the tubs/tanks/rack)
Offering the f/t feeder when the snake is inside a hide by leaving it or moving it at the entrance
Just keep in mind some bps just won't take f/t....I have a big girl that I got last year that's only taken 2 f/t for me in the time of having her (left overnight outside her hide) but other than those no dice and we've been having to get live for her.
