I have a 2 & 1/2 feet wc yellow bellied racer it wont seem to take mice I have tryed fuzys pinkys and a hopper. with no advail. it took a small frog & 3 skinks right in front of me also I had a juvinal with it they were in the same cage together for a wile one day i came home and was dissapointed to see the lil one no were to befound and the bigger one was fat that was a dissapointment since it has eaten a roadkilled garter I think what I might try next is to catch a few small frogs and get a fuzzy rub the fuzzy on frogs and throw them all together in there and leave this racer though is one of the most mellow racers I have ever handled It has only bit three times total the juvanial was eating crickets and f/t pinkies I'm sure they both ate crickets cause they were dissapearing fast I learnd not a good idea to keep racers together if size difrence the big one has eaten a frog & a skink that were gone wen i came back. how hard will it be to get her on mice this is a beautiful & mellow snake
