stuck on pinkies.......

Prana.......Refused: 2f/t fuzzies, 2 f/t adult mice.... Accepted: 2 f/t pinkies, 1 live fuzzy...............

Do you think she could be stuck on pinkies....and she makes me really work at it to get her to take the pinkie. I have to follow her head around for like 5-10 min before she decides she will eat it....and of course it's not much, she sucks it down in less than 1 min.....tell me what you think!

I've also posted this in General Python.......

try rat pups! what i notice with my BP is that when i thaw my Rat, its not warm enough, so i bring it up to the lamp, stick it really close to it for 10 seconds and let your BP do the sencing. It always works.

Sounds like u always having trouble, do u cover the tank so that its very dark and makes the BP think its really secure? I do that and it always eats. I've been saying the same thing over, and over again... have u tried it?

Of course. But she could careless, as long as it is a pinke. She could care less if it was high noon. and there was an applauding audience....as long as it is a pinkie! There is NO WHERE around here that sells rat pups..... so I don't have that choice...

I can't........I don't have a credit card, and no one will let me borrow theirs..... So I'm stuck with mice until she gets bigger.

Well one I'm 19, don't need my parents to send out. And another I don't want to pay over 30 dollars for shipping along on something that she might not even ever eat, my other bp is on small rats so no go there.....I am looking to get her on bigger prey item before I even worry about switching her over to rats......
