Jay,
I have posted a few times regarding feeding f/t and like to hear from others who do so. I have a small collection of balls (3 males and 10 females) and feed only f/t. I would love to know if they would be feeding better on live and sometimes think that is my problem when they go off feed. Would they be feeding better if I fed live? I have rarely offered live and when I do it's usually just one feeding or two to the long term fasters or newly aquired snakes not accepting f/t right away. They have all eventually accepted f/t. This is great but last fall was my first year having a female large enough to breed and she decided not to eat much all summer and was somewhat thin during breeding season. She was the disposal for two years and would take anything offered. She weighed about 1800 grams but was thin overall though she bred quite a few times.
Anyway, I'm not quite answering your question but feel that I may be getting a better feeding response if feeding live.
Glenn
