Soft furred success

A year after acquiring her my sorong has just taken her first voluntary meal, a soft furred rat. Try them!

I am not sure if you tried, but rat pups or mice scented with a dab or two of chicken soup works well sometimes.

I force fed it to keep it alive, I'm not even sure why you would ask that? It wasn't eating on it's own.

I'm just surprised that you would go that long. Whatever works for you. I don't forcefeed, but a lot of people do. I've not heard of people trying that long though.

Thanks, I had tried that along with every combination of live and frozen, rodent, bird and lizard I could find. Soft furs is the only thing that ultimately worked.
