My ribbon snake is being very difficult to get switched over to F/T prey. He'd been being fed rosy reds at the pet store. I've tried both F/T silver sides & chunks of trout on a lid in his cage next to his hide. Once he had pulled one of the silversides off the lid, but didn't finish eating it. My question is, what do you think I should try next? He is still extremely flighty & will musk & whip his body around violently when I hold him. So I wasn't sure trying to put him in a small container on top of his food would help any, as he'd get very upset by being moved. I was thinking about the next time putting in a F/T silverside with the live fish in his water bowl. What do you guys think? What would you try next? I really want to get him off live, as the only readily available feeders around here are guppies at one store, but a lot of them have things really wrong with them, like kinked spines, ect. So I'm not sure how good they are to be feeding to anything. The only other ones are the rosy reds at the store I got him from, over all they are way healthier looking than the guppies, but don't want to chance the B1 problem. (I do know what that's called, just didn't want to attempt spelling it) Thanks for any replies!
