Hi All
Been battling for a while to get my male ball python to eat (again)
When he does he only take small live rat pups. He won't take any f/t or any size mice either.
A friend mentioned that some guy's feed chickens. So while doing a bit of reaserch on the pros and cons of feeding chicken I found a site on how to get your snake to eat pre kill or f/t. The on thing they suggested is to dip the feeder into chicken broth, some snakes are supposed to like the taste.
So I had an idea, I took a chicken stock cube put it in hot water and put a couple of frozen pinkies in it. Didn't work. So I took a live adult mouse
and dipped it in the stock cube water. He took it straight away.
Altogether he ate 3. The most he has ever eaten. Now just to get him to take pre-kill or f/t.
Hope this might help others with picky feeders.
