Problem Eating...

[tHeGiNo]

Well my ball python eats like a pig, that is not the problem. I usually feed him f/t rat pups, however this feeding they had none left. Therefore I baught a live. I offered it to him, and he didn't even try to constrict, I had to sort of pull on the rat to get him to. Is this a problem? Or is he just used to eating f/t...

out of curiosity, did you kill the rat before you offered it to him? By the sounds of it, you didnt. Are you saying you offered it to him still alive and he wouldn't constrict??
