    *hitting my head*

    So my spider has decided she wants mice, not rats now, at almost 400g. My pastel just wants to hide. My normal wants bite sized weaned rats which I can't get a steady supply of. Both my pied gets either want bite sized or nothing at all. At least the new '12s are coming along well though.

    Sigh.

    i am guessing F/T?

    if so try pre-killed or even live. I had a "mouser" and it wasnt that she was a mouser entirely, she destroys live. when i open her tub to feed her live its like a GTP, i gotta move to the side so she doesnt tag me in her haste.

    and worse case wait them out. let them go on strike. they can easily go a month or 2 with NO problems. I had a male go 6 months without eating. I waited him out and now he eats F/T med rats all day.

    dont just give in to them because they want to be a pain.

    Drag.
    They're not big on flexibility or consistency, are they? Glad the hatchlings are cooperating for you.

    No they're on live, most I received already eating live and with the others f/t was even more frustrating. My hatchlings are so quick to snatch a meal I tried to switch them but they called shenanigans.
