I have 4 hatchlings from the same clutch; 3 mojaves, 1 normal. Two hatchlings are males; two are females. Here's my problem.

The males eat without hesitation f/t rat pups. The females try to hide when they see the f/t rat pups but they take live mice instanly when put in front of them, no hesitation whatsoever.

Is this a feeding peculiarity with males and females and f/t rodents? I would like for all to take the f/t rat pups, it would be so much easier, safer and less expensive - any suggestions for the females?

Thanks,
Jim
