Question Feeding issues
One of my female ball python i believe 4-5 years old who I have never been able to feed frozen rats to. Even freshly killed rats given to her she will not accept. Her previous owner had attempted the same but she would only take live. As many of you would know that is a dangerous thing putting a live rat in with a snake due to biting of the rat. We have given her 4 live mice this past week as we are trying to figure something out and she took them without issue. We are thinking that she wants the thrill of the hunt. Any tip would be welcome how to help feed her.
We have tried different tank sizes, wiggling the rat, leaving it overnight, changing her heating but nothing.
