Depends on the animal -- most of the time just getting a snake in the habit of eating on a normal schedule is enough to get it to feed on whatever you put in front of it. But there are some snakes that seem to only eat based on scent and if they are fixated on ASFs (or even mice) then they won't switch easily. Sometimes when you get those really picky ones switched over and they are good and fat and you are all stoked on their progress -- they go on their winter fast and you have to start the whole process over again the following spring. Wonderful animals balls are.
