    Re: Hunger strike, and I'm pretty stumped.

    @bigballs my temps are 79-80 on the cool side droping to 77 at night, and on the warm side the temps stay around 90 93 never below that. and humidity is consistant around 50%
    my enclosure is...around 18" 12 " 36" long glass aquarium. and the BP is two and a half feet and the last weigh in was 546 grams.

    @anendeloflorien Ill try taht prescenting thing in a few days, and keep an eye on it!
    The only real reason I've been trying F/T was because I dont want live mice/rats around that he isnt going to eat anytime soon, its much easier to refreeze a F/T rat and keep trying though im sure this isnt that good of an idea and could spoil that feed. Is there a point where those frozen feeders will spoil?

    I wouldn't offer a F/T item more than two times. Its not a good idea to keep on defrosting and refreezing rodents. I would only refreeze and defrost one time after the initial offering.

    yes the rule of thumb for f/t is you can offer it to them and if they refuse it you can refreeze it. But you can only refreeze it one time after that throw it away.
