So my little guy ate weekly while still at the breeder but only live. He wouldn't touch f/t. I gave it a shot yesterday & after a little puppeteering he struck the mouse & coiled it. 30 seconds later my dog decided to come into the room & bark. Of course he spooked the snake & he let go with his mouth but was still coiled. I left the room & closed the door so he could do his thing in private. I checked a few hours later & there was the mouse, right where he left it. So.....mouse down the toilet & we'll try again today or tomorrow. Henry the schnauzer will be outside this time!
