if they are live though johnny he has maybe had a nip from one, could be why he is afraid of them. definately try him with a weaner. and what i would do if he still refuses is feed him every week. see if that puts a wee spurt of growth on.

He is comfortable eating inside and outside his container but i never leave a live food overnight. |

i know lynne  but my point is its much safer to kill the rodent before feeding that way no chance of causing injury to the snake
