Our ball is a picky eater though I wonder whether stubborn would be a better word to use. He is currently 2 yrs old 1.1kg and just short of 3 1/2 ft long. He ate f/t rats fine even eating multiples up until he was just over 1 year old and weighed 1kg then it all stopped. He will eat an 80g f/t rat weaner once every 6-8 weeks if we are lucky and I do mean if we are lucky and his last fast lasted for around 5 months during which time he did lose weight around 120g. He always comes out of his hide as though he is going to strike at the rat (rat is super heated with hair dryer) but then he just goes right by it and acts like he wants out of his viv. Now if he continues like this it could mean that he is only going to be eating 3-5 rats a year and as I said they are only around 80g he simply wont touch anything bigger. Surely this is not enough for him to be to remain healthy? Hence this is why I am tempted to try f/t mice. I can get mice weighing around 50-60g and if he would eat multiples of these or even more often than the 6-8 weeks surely it would be better for him?
Help, really need some expert opinions on this one
