Hi I am looking for help I bought a baby mountain king that was being assist fed for weeks it has now started eating fresh killed pinkies and it will only eat it if it very freshly killed.
Is there tips advice on how to get this little snake on frozen food as it would be easier for me
The snake will not go hungry as i have multi's breeding to keep it going but would prefer to use frozen food
Thank you for any help Jude

Update on mountain king it took it's first defrosted mouse last night, I defrosted the mouse in tuna oil and I could see it was interested I was over the moon when it ate it, it has took some time to get this snake to show any interest in defrosted food so fingers crossed it carries on

i would first try taking some of the used bedding you have for breeding your multis and defrosting some pinkies in that to get the scent and then heating the pinkies and try offering that way.

Clean the frozen pinkies first so there is no original scent from them.
