    Re: Eats p/k but not f/t?

    Assuming you tried all the easy stuff:
    -Slow thaw rodents in warm (not hot) water
    -Hairdryer for finish temp.
    -Pre-scent room
    -Feed at Dusk
    -Live Scent item
    -Gerbil Bedding Scent Item

    I've also noticed that f/t eaters won't touch rodents that have been frozen too long. If you don't know the age of the prey: Try fresh killing a rodent and then freezing it for a day prior to thawing it and trying to feed it off.

    Note: Dirty substrate can also be a f/t mood killer for a ball python.

    Worst case: Grow your own rodents--fresh!

    Good Luck!
