    Re: F/t vbs assist feeding

    Force-feeding or assist feeding should only be considered as a last resort when everything else has failed (this includes live feeding)

    Considering force-feeding because an animal does not take F/T does not make sense and put the animal at risk.

    You should feed what works for your snake first and foremost, what is convenient for you is only secondary.

    Owning a snake mean you should be prepared to feed live.
