Food makes a difference

I changed my rodent supplier about a month ago. I noticed within about 3-4 weeks most of them wasnt eating as well. I had discussed it with someone and told me that it could be the new supplier. Well needless to say I changed suppliers again. I waited 2 weeks and tried feeding from the new supplier. Guess what they all ate. Even the new babies I had had gotten that had only been on f/t. Great knowing you can figure these things out. Hope this helped someone out there.

I've had the same thing happen and I can't wait to finish off this supply and switch them all back to The Mouse Factory.

I wonder if the snakes get used to one taste and smell or if the product just is foul in some way????

I would be willing to bet it's the food that the supplier feeds the rodents.

Its all the way the rodents are fed, kept in, kept on, how crowded they are, etc. Some snakes don't like the crowded smell on rodents that re frozen together, so sometimes its necessary to wash the rodents with soap and water.
