Jack,


It has been quite a long time since I have had a stubborn carpet feeder. The last one I had was an adult male Irian Jaya. He was not on live but rather just on mice. I needed to switch him to rats. I actually had to practically starve him to get him to switch. It took a year, but I finally did. It is for this reason that I only try to sell f/t feeders.

Back to your question. Have you tried the bait and switch?? You would have a nicely warmed f/t mouse and a live mouse. Try teasing her with the live one and then offer her the f/t one. Not always effective but works sometimes.
You can also try this one: Give her the live one, let her kill it and constrict it. As she starts her searching for the head to eat, switch it out for the f/t one.
Then again, sometimes this only works with a fasting.
