Stopped eating F/T

[dakski]

I have 6 ball pythons. All switched to frozen thawed from live since purchase. My female albino is 500g. Breeder told me she pounded live weaned rats. Ever since I got her she would not strike the thawed rat. But I'd drop in rack and it was gone in the am. This worked great for 2 months. Now she still doesn't strike but rat is uneaten in am. This is week two for this. I warm them and blow-dry them like crazy. Other BPs pound em without hesitation. I REALLY don't want to have to buy a live rat just for her for the same reasons that I'm in F/T to begin with. Any ideas? She seems happy. I have her in a FB10 tgr rack.

BP's often refuse meals, and even fast for long periods. I wouldn't sweat it at all.

It's only a concern with very little babies.

Once they eat F/T regularly, it's rare you would need to feed live ever again.

I would just be patient and offer every two weeks until she eats again.

Good luck!
