I'm really surprised how well mine have taken to f/t. After 4-6 live feedings, they have all switched to f/t. No hesitation at all....

My 2 slow feeders also ate. I have had to assist feed 3 times so far. One by herself - the other coiled it, but didn't seem to know what to do. I put the mouse up to his mouth, he opened his mouth and bit down. I lightly wrapped him around the mouse, put him back in his tub and he ate.
