Questions about feeding...

[Zincubus]

So I am sure you all get soooo many questions about feeding, but here goes another.. I have a young ball python. Born in April and have had him for about a month. Temps and humidity are all good, inside enclosed rack with a hide. He is extremely shy still. He has eaten live twice for me and before tonight hadn't eaten in 10 days (was in shed). I tried feeding FT rat tonight and he had no interest whatsoever. I figured I would try live mouse again. Put mouse in and within 3 minutes he ate him. Now my question is what process should I take to get him on Ft rats? Should I try live young rats (if I can find them)? FT mice? Get him feeding really well on live mice for a couple of months and then try? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Read up online on the hairdryer trick / method .. here's a quick guide ...



Make sure it's evening as they're nocturnal , mine prefer low light / dim light and all five now only strike from within their hides .
Heat well with hairdryer then offer with tongs - dangle in front of the hide entrance - offer IMMEDIATELY whilst still warm - they cool down substantially each second. If there is the slightest interest shown , reheat and offer instantly- repeat as many times as it takes .
