just kept making feeding attempts. I would switch it up from rats / mice / ft / live. With the one that got the arab to eat I was very aggressive with the fuzzy mouse... rubbing it on the boas tail and bouncing it around quite a bit. Eventually the boa gave out a little hiss then did a defensive strike... I think that got the taste in its mouth... the next strike was a feeding response and he/she has eaten great ever since.
