I am so so tempted to go down the live animal route but my breeder is reluctant to recommend it. Seems to be a UK/US thing about FT and Live. Trouble is my snake was a breeding male and his last owner (a breeder) sold of a bunch of his breeding males of which Brian was one. They had all been fed on ft rats which he bred. So he has grown up on FT do I want to go down this route and get stuck on it. Maybe he just ain't hungry - I'm running out of ideas on this one!

I'm also ware my viv is slightly on the large side so am building a two tier 3ft x 18" x 18" so I can house a female as well. Its not like I don't already have enough problems with one! So maybe this is the last of two things being wrong. The other being the road noise although I think this is unlikely.

Cheers for the continued advice, live is defo an option but I may try some small rats first.
