Re: Yet another addition to my family.

Ya know, I am going to try frozen again today.. Warm that little thing up and wiggle it all over the place You guys are motivating me! I would prefer to go the frozen path.. Truthfully I am unsure if the girls would like my new Ball if they new what she actually ate!! They are still to young for that As of now they think she eats a "Frozen Gummy Bear"

As far as garters go they are ok with giving them worms and fish... One step at a time

Re: Yet another addition to my family.

OMG... that is TOO CUTE... a frozen gummy bear!!!!!! I love it!!

I had some success with Squiggles for a while with f/t, as long as I wiggled it just right. Be patient, try to go with natural type movements, and hopefully she'll be fine for you. It's funny, too, because as much as Fluffy wants live mice, she'll eat f/t chicks for me with no problem, so I alternate.

Keep us posted!!!

Re: Yet another addition to my family.

I have been thinking a bit.. The pet store "said" she was eating F/T.. However I really think they want the sale. I am sure the most important thing for the pet store is to have a "plump" snake and I bet they will do anything to make that happen.. So I would not be surprised if they feed her live this entire time..

On top of all that I went in the store other day while another girl was working and they had a male Ball in which she claimed "wouldn't take F/T so we just feed him live"

Re: Yet another addition to my family.

sounds like they were just going for the sale dashnu. keep trying with f/t but if she/he wont take the it then you aint gonna have much choice but to feed live.
