That's a tough one. It will interested to see how people with lots of experience reply. But I have a feeling it might be hard to step back to F/T if he is used to live.

Our guy seemed to be on a hunger strike (refused two F/T pinkies, then a F/T adult mouse) before and after his shed for a total no-eat time of 3 weeks. Last night, my husband gave him his first live adult female mouse and Mr. Snake took it.

We will try to go back to F/T next time, but don't know if it will work, so let us know how it goes.

You mentioned stunning the mouse. I have a question about that -what is the best way to stun the mouse w/out injuring it fatally - in case the snake doesn't take it to save it for later?
