I have an Eastern that I can't seem to switch over to rodents. She's a rescue that I've had for almost a year and I'm sure she was probably WC, but not positive. She was fed toads before I got her and I've been continuing with that trend. I've tried to scent rodents with frogs and frog guts over the winter when toads were in short supply, but no such luck. I tried pinkies and fuzzies, no difference. One time I walked in and she was curled up with a fuzzy...cute, but not the effect I was looking for! Now that toads are "hopping" out again in Central FL, what can I try? I'm also not opposed to accepting the fact that she may just be a toad eater. Also, do you have to switch completely, or can you go back and forth?

Thanks,
Laura
