Switching to f/t

[SerpentSteve]

So all of my other snakes take f/t with no issue. However, one of my female retics is a princess and thinks she's too good for anything short of a live rat. I was just curious if anybody had any suggestions on getting her to switch over. My only idea is to feed her live from my hand like I would a f/t until she gets conditioned enough for me to trick her into taking them.

I would try stunning the prey item, then move on to fresh killed and from there to F/T. Also if you have problems with the F/T stage try really heating the head of the prey. Hope this helps mate and I'm sure some of the more experienced keepers will be able to help, keep us posted on how you get on
