I've heard of dipping the F/T items, but I wouldn't put it passed a not to savvy pet shop to get it confused with soaking the snake in it. A friend of mine tried this with her one bp and it worked great....only problem was that it wouldn't eat anything but the broth soaked rodent afterwords.
well if it would get him started eating again, I'll try it.. I didn't think it was soaking the snake in chicken broth. go figure.
