Got Houdini to take f/t.

So, yesterday was the second day in a row I made an offering of f/t to Houdini. He wasn't having any of me dangling it in front of him, so I put it I side his hide and left him alone for two hours. When I went to go put the mouse up, cause I was sure he'd ignored it, it was no where to be found! Houdini took his first f/t an hopefully not his last.

This is your ball right? How come youre switching him to f/t instead of live?

One nipped on the tail and he refused the last three live I offered him.

awwww bless him glad he's eating again for you

Yeah those nips can make them a little apprehensive at times. Our loki is well into his winter fasting but we have 2 fat gerbils, that are only gonna get fatter, waiting when he's ready I'm guessing you order them already frozen our do you do that yourself? We found that when loki got a little shy with live food that stunning them helpe but still provided the attraction of semi live food and the thrill of the hunt. I think letting our captive herps use at least done of their natural instincts provide a better quality of life but then again balls are opportunistic eaters. How he keeps eating the f/t for ya picky lil boogers.

Yes, I buy them prefrozen from a local specialty shop. If he keeps this up, I'll be so happy!
