    Re: Any negatives to indefinitely feeding fuzzy rats (in multiples)?

I finally took the f/t out and offered the other fuzzy, which it quickly ate. Again, it did the swallowing from inside the hide but I dangled the f/t as it was finishing and it struck fairly quickly.

    This time I left it alone for like an hour (had to run an errand) and when I got back it had eaten.
    Sometimes an "appetizer" is exactly what a snake needs to get on f/t. Probably best to do the same thing for the next couple feedings before you try just offering the f/t by itself- by then, your snake will hopefully respond without the live fuzzies- but some snakes learn faster than others.
