Ok for those of you that don't know Mayhem my brazilian rainbow boa well he is a fussy feeder and today i thought i would try him on mice and see what his feeding responce is like from that instead of ratpups which he can be very picky at..  .
Well i let this small mouse defrost then i blasted it with a hairdryer to warm it up and then put a small slit on the head of the mouse to draw some brains out to make the scent stronger well however i opens his RUB up and offer the small mouse to him and within a few secs he was extreamly intrested in it  after he got closer to it out of the unexpected Bammm !! Strike and coil i was amazed that his feeding responce has jumped a big ammount so i take it as he don't like ratpups and prefers mice.. I have few pics below and a video of him eating.

| It's amazing what they can get in their mouths!! lol well done Mayhem. I'm not gonna make this a regular thing though - a word of warning, he may be grumpy for a few days - Jade didn't appreciate me touching her after leaving her for 2 days, obviously a lot of digesting to do!! |

| Yup, as noted in the last thread, Brazilians sure do love their mice. I have one female that quite often refuses rats outright, and I have to scent (heavily) with a mouse to get her to take it. Glad to see Mayhem chowed down! |

Yeah, the nightly support phone calls and 12-step program really seemed to cheer him up. ;-)
Happy to help, and I hope he keeps eating well for you! |
