I thought you guys might find it interesting to hear that I used a heat gun to heat up the rats for all of my snakes yesterday instead of running them directly under hot water and both of these little stinkers IMMEDIATELY snatched them right up with authority as soon as I pulled their tubs out!There was definitely something different about feeding day yesterday all around, too. ALL of my snakes (except my one Lesser girl that has been on a hunger strike for almost 2 months) were acting ravenous at feeding time! My one Boa boy is always a great eater, but I couldn't even hardly get his tub pulled out. He was basically trying to charge out of the tub like a Retic or Woma! lol I can't help, but think the heat gun blowing the rat smell around in my snake room might have put all of them into a feeding frenzy!
Thanks again you guys! Now, let's see if I can keep these little Sumatrans sweethearts eating like that every week... *fingers crossed*
That's basically the secret of the hairdryer method really , I never thaw in water as I said as it strips all the smell/ odour / taste away - the hairdryer warms up the rodent and blows the rodent aroma all around the room ... all my snakes are tongue flicking in anticipation
You'll have much more confidence next time !
