Assistance with switching to F/T?
I wasn't so worried with pups even tiny rats, but now that my ball python is getting so big- I have to get her bigger meals (obviously) and since the rats are getting bigger they put up a better fight. I haven't had any scratches or bites . . . yet, but I know eventually it's bound to happen. Besides I feel much better knowing that if I fed her frozen there's no way she could get bitten and I don't want to wait until she gets hurt to try and switch.
Problem is she's been eating live since she was born (about to be 7 months) and it seems like she ONLY eats rats from the local feed store by my house- they only have live. I've tried warming a frozen thawed rat by soaking it in hot water until its warmed all the way through and the whole hair dryer thing, but she won't take. I've postponed her feeding for an entire three days in hopes it would make her really hungry. Same result though, not even a single strike position. I've even tried to make it dance and run around lol (-_-) Any suggestions??
