Converting to thawed-warmed.

roger van Couwen Jan 25, 2007 10:02 PM

My babt BT is growing fast. She already takes fully adult mice with no problem. So I stocked up on frozen mice. Is there anything special I should do to convert her to pre-killed?

normally w/ converting over to f/t isnt hard for monitors..not unless u know the animal is picky annd will only take live...most monitors like ur black throat pounce on mice at the first site so just try giving it to him kinda lik how u serve him the adult mice.if he does refuse it...u may have to give him a live or a freshly killed mice to get his attntion then after give him a f/t to let him have a taste. if ur monitor reacts to food right away then u shouldnt have a problem.
have a nice day
