My boa wont eat white mice, she readily goes for other rodents and eats well on a schedule. But WILL NOT eat the mice, she cohabitated with a white mouse for an entire week and actually moved out of her hide cave when the mouse decided to move in. I know shes not sick cuz she is eating but gerbils/hamsters/etc are MUCH more expensive than feeder mice. Also I have tried to feed her Anoles but they are too fast.
