I’m glad Beans is eating for you. If feeding live is working for you then stick with it. You’ll have to be really careful once you start feeding larger prey though. How much does a live rat pup go for these days? I totally agree with FollowTheSun. I’ve never seen a healthy animal starve itself to death. The hunger ALWAYS wins in the end end. If you don’t mind the extra costs, and trips to the pet store every week or two, then there’s no need to change anything. If you REALLY want your snake to eat f/t then don’t offer it anything else. I assure you it will eat eventually. It could take a few months, or even up to a year, but the snake will eat. With my stubborn carpets and kings it usually took about 3-4 months for them to fall in line. I’ve had BPs go 8 & 12 months without food. I just keep offering food every 2-4 weeks until the snake eats or starves. So far they’ve ALL chosen to eat. Best wishes with Mr. Beans
