Don't forget what I typed to you b4. Good luck. I'm sorry, my pied has taken f/t b4 when he was younger , it was f/t day old chicks. That was the only time.

Oh, he eats f/t no problem now, it's just he doesn't appreciate my attempt to switch him to rats and is throwing a little temper tantrum. lol

No, I haven't. In the past, I usually just waited him out and he ate in his own time. I just want to get him to eat asap this time. If he refuses live, too, I'll see about getting him ASF's, but all I have access to are f/t ones ordered online, and idk if he'd eat it f/t atm, even if they were ASF's.
If you asked if I've tried something, chances are I haven't. So far,
in this particular fast, all I've tried is feeding a rat behind the mouse. This worked once, but hasn't since. As said, in past fasts all I did was wait him out until he decided to eat. That's worked for me in the past, and would probably work this time, but I don't want to risk him losing too much weight and becoming emaciated before he eats again.
