Well it's never too late to try and convert them over it's tough though! Im trying to get one that's been fed live to eat f/t but I think he's beginning to cave. It's a lot more convenient. I know if I fed live I'd end up having a pet rat colony.

Ha I've tried a few times and I just end up frustrated because he doesn't show interest and I end up having to throw it away then think I could have bought live in the first place and I wouldn't have to buy another, well with the exception of Greg lol

You could always use it as an excuse to get more snakes...


"Honey, we have so many rats now I HAVE to get another BP...it's population control...you know how it is...."

Omg I got our rat almost the same way!! My Splinter was supposed to be food, he was only a weanling but still a lil too big for Lex at the time. She struck 3 times but never coiled... I took him out and went and got her a mouse nearby.
Rats really are cool pets, he's awesome!!
Sometimes things work in mysterious ways lol

Yep, I think it's happened to a lot of us! I once ended up with this little gray rat, who we (my roommate & I) named "Felix." Then I felt sad that Felix didn't have a friend, so I adopted "Oscar" to keep him company... but our other roommate's dog got too curious, knocked the cage down, and killed poor little Felix.

I ended up giving Oscar to an old friend of mine, where he joined two other rats in a happy home... wonder if he's still alive? Hmmm. Oh yeah, and I also currently have two pet mice who were supposed to be feeders (long story) - but I'm not keen on keeping mice in my little apartment, so my next-door neighbor has offered to take them soon. One of the dangers of us bleeding hearts feeding live, I suppose!

P.S. Greg is adorable, and I love the name.

So this was a hilarious thread to read, now I'm scared of this happening to me! my bf told me I wasn't allowed to keep F/T in the freezer cuz they make it stink. I guess I'm not too worried I guess cuz knowing I could be evicted for keeping a rat scares me, is it easy to get them to eat live even if they eat f/t?

[Crazymonkee]

It will probably be happy to!! May even eat better for you

From what I hear it is no problem at all to switch from f/t to live!

When you have several snakes it's not so frustrating cuz a rat will never go wasted (If someone doesn't eat their rat, gets tossed to someone else).
Another excuse to get more snakes lol
