I mad emy decision to feed or not with mine as they usually are out scouring for food a day before I feed them. In "blue" sometimes they wold come out and I would offer food and they would take it... other times they were hiding and I would get them out anyway and they would ignore so I dont tend to defrost anything now until they are out and wandering for it (usually like clockwork charlie is every 6-7days) If he doesnt come out though I leave him till afterwards.... (also may just be me but noticed when I feed in "blue" they tendtake longer to shed"

Medusa refused a feed when she was in shed, she got all hissy and a bit upset as her eyes were really milky so I don't think she could see very well. Hope your snakes shed goes smoothly:)

Well they seemed to get more active this evening so decided to offer food, fed out of viv as usual and struck and constricted the poor lickle mice. Was tempted to just go with a single feed but they were very much still looking for food. Fingers crossed everything stays nicely settled now there back in their home.

I may be barking up the wrong tree but how long before feeding do you defrost your mice?
