Trouble with F/T

[hollowlaughter]

She has a much much lesser response to ft then live. I'm hoping that at least now showing strike and coil almost there.

Mine was having similar problems. Beyond what's been said about thawing in the room and heating the rodents to get a response, here's what I've done to get an animal that was skipping feedings to eat more regularly:

• Additional cover in his enclosure. Tighter/darker hides, plants, pcv tubes, etc.
• A standard feeding regimen, offering it to him the exact same way every time.
• After he's struck and is latched I make the rodent "struggle" a bit, lightly tugging.

Between these three things, he's now eating regularly and has actually been getting more willing to strike out at me when I open his enclosure and snatch up the food items immediately when offered with a strong strike.
