how fussy are childreni's with feeding?

[darkangel]

i have recently bought a childreni and was given a rat with her. a week after i had her i gave her the rat and she took it straight away. i now have mice but she doesn't want to know about them. is this normal?

get some rats and see if she will take them again.... its better to be on rats than mice anyway

[MoreliaMatt]

in my experience ive found that antaresia are definately more fussy than morelia.....

They can be very fussy ,i have have had some that will smash a rat but completely ingore mice and visa versa .
If it was feeding on rats i would just keep offering it rats ...

i know that young childreni can be quite fussy when eating, and most breeders recommend someone new to snakes to take a yearling to avoid problems.
