Pits that were troublesome feeders and slow growers.
I just kept at it and kept experimenting with things till I got them on track - some turned on and some never did.
I found that using a hide box and only disturbing the snake to feed it worked well for most..... My stubborn, reluctant feeders had a hard time turning down live rodents. I hate feeding live so I would feed those small rodents two or three per feeding.
Something else that I thought was interesting; using the above methods and keeping them warmer than I usually would - top shelf of the rack, seemed to really get them going. They spent more time on the heat than any of my other pits and turned around quicker than I thought they would.
Hope that helps some..
byron.
