First frozen/thawed feed SUCCESS!!

[TurboSE]

I have had my Ball for about 4 years. I have fed her live rats(recently)/mice(when she was young). I tried to switch her to frozen/thawed once before, about 2 years ago. She would have nothing of it, so I returned to feeding live.

After a "close-call" at her last feeding (no harm to her thankfully), I became determined to switch her for her safety, and my piece of mind.

Well, today I tried. I fed one live mouse, followed by a f/t mouse which she snatched up instantly. Then another f/t which she "missed" a couple times (I've always heard about Ball's poor aim, but had never seen it until today) before gulping it down.

Now, following this success...whats next?

At her next feeding, do I just go straight with a f/t rat, or do I need to use the "bait & switch" again?

Any help would be appreciated, I feel really good that I got this accomplished.

PS-Never having any "feeding errors", I never realized what a rush it would be watching her lung at my hand (tongs)...or how much faster they seem when they're aimed at you.
