F/T Switcheroo

[Spaniard]

I have had to do the switcheroo on stubborn BP's but I do it differently. I put in the live prey item and use a FT prey item in the tongs to keep the live prey item away from the BP...as if I'm a goaly separating the BP from the live item with the FT item as my hocky stick. I also make sure the FT is warmer than the prey item. The BP sees the live prey but then hits the FT prey out of confusion. After two times like this they will hit the FT without seeing the live prey at all.

Thanks I'll give that a go first if she's still not interested I'll let her strike the mouse and I'll leave the f/t rat in there with her. We'll see how it goes, she's in shed right now so It'll be a couple days but I'll update with my results.

I was thinking of doing the same thing as I have the exact same issues with tyring to convert my normal to f/t. I am very interested in your results. I was going to try waiting until after the live was swallowed then moving in with the f/t. Can you post a link to this video you are talking about? Thanks.

Here is the thread with the link to the video.
