What A Relief (And Easy Solution)
When I first got Zeus, I had him on rat pups. Slowly I moved him up to adult mice which he readily accepted no problem. Then out of nowhere he decided he wasn't interested, and only wanted live. Then two weeks ago he decides he now isn't interested in live either...blahhh
I was concerned it might of been a problem with temperature or husbandry and checked and everything was good to go. It turns out...all he wanted was a change in prey =)
I thought I'd try a small rat out and see how he would respond. So after dethawing and dropping it in the cage I let him be for awhile and came back to him half way done.
Good for some to keep in the back of their head. Guess he just decided he was sick of mice and wanted a larger and more nutritious item =P

Re: What A Relief (And Easy Solution)
Good for you and him! Seems kinda weird though, to go from rat pups to adult mice.

Zeus is about 3 1/2 feet or so.
Rat pups from the breeder I get them off of are big. Two of them are not much less than an adult mouse. Plus, he's a burm. So he can take down larger prey items with more ease opposed to the smaller colubrids and boas

Re: What A Relief (And Easy Solution)
That happened with my BCI. She was on mice since a baby. She started turning mice down, so we fed her a rat (weanling I think). She freakin' inhaled it!
But then we decided to switch her back to mice for some odd reason. And she absolutely refused to eat them! But the moment a rat was even CLOSE to her proximity she snarfed it. What a Diva! |
