at the mo morris is being a fussy eater he eats every 3rd week but inbetween i still try to feed him he sniffs it and wonders off, i move him into a seperate rub for dinner time but i want to try viv feeding to see if it makes a change so here go's whats the best way of going this regards to not eating any substrate? i dont really want to taking things out just so i can laydown some paper then rebuild etc. how do u guys get around this with minimum disturbance
Mine are kept on aspen and i viv (RUB) feed .. personally i open the RUB lid, wiggle the rat by its tail and its either ripped out of my hand and swallowed or with my 09 on the very odd occasion i leave it on a bit of cork bark and its gone by the morning.
I have never had an issue with the odd bit of aspen being swallowed and personally i dont really understand why people feed outside the viv! Both mine are excellent feeders, wiggle rat, strike, cover and leave them to it
The more you fuss about this the more your going to put your snake off eating IMO so as long as your not offering dripping wet prey you shouldnt have anything to worry about with the odd bit of aspen (my preffered substrate) being swallowed
