Couldn't be happier. Juju hasn't eaten for 5 months, so following some great advice I decided to try him with a multi. He went for it straight away!!! He's never so much as looked at a rat or mouse since he stopped eating. So after dragging this poor thing up a tree sideways, he finally remembered which way his food is supposed to go down and I now have a very full snake and a massive smile on my face.
Safe to say after all the frustration, that my faith has been fully restored. Genuinely feel like a kid at Christmas!!!

Multimammates, Pretty much a gerbil. Apparently it's exactly what they would eat in wild. Must have smelled good. Got his attention straight away. He had been eating rats for a while before. Must have just got sick of them.

It amazes me that a snake will choose to starve for nearly 6 months rather than eating the same thing it has always eaten. Then as soon as you offer something that looks and smells the same to us, they go wild!!
It's like us refusing a McDonald's because we want Burger King lol
