Yes, I was serious. I believe that they can smell the difference between live, f/k, and f/t. Most difference being the f/t. I have had fantastic sucsess with putting the frozen food in a plastic bag with a handfull of dirty gerbil bedding while they thaw. The scent of gerbil really seems to apeal to even my finikiest eater. A snake, a gerbil scented thawed rat, in a paper bag, stapled shut and PUT IN THE CAGE overnight-does the trick for me! (Yes, the bag is empty in the morning. Be sure if snake escapes bag, he escapes into his cage.)
Good luck,
GratefulFred
