last meal was 10days before I purchased him on the 8th of DEC 2004
what I have tried
frozen thawed warmed under heat lamp for 5 min till approxx 100F (small rat Little less the girth of snake ) --> no effect
tried prekilled (mice) --> no effect
tried double thawed rat --> no effect
last night tried scenting prey with gerbil bedding --> more intrest shown but no effect
attemps are kept to every 2 weeks now and I "try" to keep handling to a min ( couple times a week for 10min)
