    Good luck! I recommend using the hairdryer trick, which is to blow the head of the f/t with a hairdryer for about 30 seconds before you offer it. It's how I got Firnen to eat today

    Yes, but some suggested that I should feed him every five days.

    No it doesn't matter which end. Your snake might be special if he keeps eating backward however

    Lol, Axel is eating it from the side, I guess he'll figure it out? He has never eaten a medium mouse before, btw, the stores that I went to had no Rat Fuzzies today.
