Hey there Cliff --

Yeah, I spent four months converting a picky hondo hatchling this spring. Funfunfun!

She was eating live pinky rats before I got her. She accepts live pinky and fuzzy mice for me with no hesitation. She just prefers her food to have a heartbeat! I've been feeding roughly once a week, and her last feeding (two small fuzzy live mice) was Tuesday night. I'm going to start offering a small live plus a small f/t at the same time, and see if I can convince her that they are still mice even when they're dead!
