live to dead food

[Shayne]

I was lucky and mine went from eating Live to FT without issue. He also went from mice to rats without issue. I thaw it out in a Ziploc bag submerged in hot water for about 30 minutes and ill give it a slight squeeze with my fingers to make sure its completely thawed and warm. I grab it with tongs, and kinda mimic the rat walking up to Neo. Once he grabs ill tug and pull lightly for a few seconds.

This is exactly how I do it. Also, my Monty had never eaten a f/t (dead) mouse until I got him last month. I tried the above tactic and it worked perfectly the 1st time.
