    Wink Re: BP not eating, questions about feeding methods

    First, I would never shake a rat to death inside of container that is just plain cruel. I will try another couple of times with a f/t because I understand that these things take time and patience. If after the next couple of weeks she still is not eating I think I will try a live feeder because she will need to eat something. If I do this I have heard of sticking a chop stick in the rats mouth if it looks like it might bite the snake during the constricting process. How long do you think she can go without eating while I try to get her to take a f/t? This past Friday was week 4 since her last meal.

    Thanks again for all of your help and advice everyone!

    Thank you for your reply, but I would not kill a rat this way to feed my BP. That is just plain cruel and barbaric.
