Feeding Prekilled to a BP that eats F/T

[Sallos]

Makes sense. When I switched from f/t mice to rats, I fed the first rat pup live and then f/t pups after that and had no issues. At this point I'm convinced she would eat a bowl of mac n cheese if I gave it to her. She is a really good eater right now. lol

Ok that made me LOL.


I had the same luck with my little leopard. Though he did have an issue three weeks ago where he dropped the rat and ignored it for 15 min. I guessed maybe it got too cold, so I took it out and hit it with a hairdryer to warm up again. When I took the tub lid off, he shot out striking like the snakes on the viperkeeper video intro. No joke! When he hit the rat he pulled so hard it left the tip of the tail dangling in the hemostat. Turns out he just needed a bit more room to maneuver. I started taking the hides out before feeding and he hasn't had an issue since.
