I have just acquired a 28 inch ball. they were feeding her two mice (live) in a sitting once every week. I want to switch to rats though and I don't want to feed live. Any opinions on how to entice her on how to feed on frozen rats??
Thanks,
Pete

Try a fresh killed rat first...you will probobly have better luck with that and then switch to ft after....Try dangling the rat by the tail..alot of snakes will take food that way...or just toss it in and see what happens...
Good luck Jason

She took the frozen rat right away!! I just had to dangle it in front of her and wham! she took it, although it took her awhile to find the head, she eventually ate it.

Cool...sounds easy....some balls are terrible to get to eat dead...
