What havent I tried,
I have left it in over night, heated the headlots and lots,
brained, pulled it round the tub, left in a dark area with it,
Put her in a tiny cadbury tub [she is in it now],,
keep her in the dark 24/7 [worked for a friend-she is in dark now]

and a few more things i cant mind.

great job paul

i fed some live and others D/F, the way i look at it , is i have paid 400-500 on a snake then i want it to live (same goes if i had spent 0) an dif the only way it will eat is live then so it is.

I do agree with the fact that a adult rats can cause injuries to the snake so for this reason i will try to only give small or baby rats cos if a lar royal wont eat it generally will go for a bit longer than say a snake of 150grs

just my veiw Laughing

@lynne i know 1st hand what a rat can do to a snake and to us as well. not so long ago a really large rat (4 my biggest boa female) didn't agree with being food, so it attacked my boa. i hurried 2 get it out and it just went 4 me. got 2 very deep bites and had 2 be operated on 1 week later coz of infection due 2 the bite! i've been trying since 2 get (at least) her and the others 2 accept dead prey but so far no luck. but i am gonna keep trying en hopefully 1 day it will pay off Wink

try poking the foods eyes out. i read somewhere that this guy did this and it ate. have you tried, differant colours of rats/mice. my cinny will only eat white. have you tried rats, mice,gerblis. try dipping heads in chicken soup. qausimodo got results with salmon with her hoggies. fresh kill. i even took kya for a run in the car, cause the last time i remembered her eating was the day she arrived and that was after a long car journey.

gerbils r know 2 be the most favourite food of royals, so that might work. also u can try it with a chick. royals in the wild eat baby birds, so u can try 2 have it eat a baby chick.
