Do any of you have corns that will only eat if the rodent is defrosted in a certain way  |

I've always found leaving mice to defrost naturally, near or on top of the vivs produces a great feeding response, as they know what's coming. Having said that, I did hair dry them a few times last year when my female was off her food a bit...which helped. Although my wife didn't see the funny side when she caught me doing it once! |

i stick my mice in a tiny bag and put them in a cup of warm water for a while-so the taste isnt washed off :) |

Venom doesn't care, food is food he'd eat it fully frozen if he had the chance. Char I have to warm up with a hair dyer and make the mouse dance about and the babies I just have to warm them up. |

I defrost my fuzzies on top of the vivarium for 2 hours then just stick them in my arm pit for like a minute or two to warm them up (THEY ARE IN PLASTIC) does the trick. |

Thanks lotabob, but yes what i wrote did sound daft! But like you say if thats the way they like them why not pamper them. |

If a bit of mousey pampering gets your snakes eating well then its not daft at all. Your snakes are beautiful by the way. |

PMSL, giving the mice a wash and blow dry before feeding. Don't forget to take the rollers out before giving them to the snake. :) |

I offered Patrick and Sid a rat each that I defrosted in quite warm water then dried them a bit with a hair dryer. They seemed to eat them alot quicker today even Patrick ate it. I normally defrost over a bowl of hot water so the rat never touches the water. |

Medusa will only eat if the pinkie's been warmed up in hot water before feeding, fussy! |

Nimbus has always taken his mice better if they are warmed up first in some hot water for a few mins just before I feed him.

both of mine eat anything but wotsit will only ever eat one despite being twice the size of biscuit wgo will eat two and still be hungry! my BRB wont eat pinkies if theyre defrosted too hot for some reason. |
