Well, I do have a large wc female southern hog who did not eat for the first 4-5 months I Had her. She refused frozen toads. One day, I had the idea to feed her a black hopper mouse. Well needless to say, it was gone in a few hours. I really wish I could've seen it happen! Oh well. I then got her really started on live toads and she's been a beast on thawed mice ever since.
I saw that post by Phil and inquired as to what kind of rodent it was. I wish he would've saved it to learn more about it. Carrion is certianly a possibility, but I did have this southern that ate a live hopper.
