Re: Finding Food Is Difficult

How old is your king? Some can be harder to transition to f/t but given enough time most will. I'm still a firm believer that the hunger always wins in the end. Sometimes it does take a bit of tough love though. I've had snakes that took months of effort but they all ate eventually. I've developed kind of an eat or starve mentality and I haven't seen a healthy animal starve itself yet when consistently offered food.

^^^^Also great advice.^^^^

I don't see you having too much difficulty getting your King eating. Kings are notorious for being garbage disposals. My King would eat a slice of pizza (it would have to be meat lovers of course,hahhahha) if I dangled it in his enclosure with tongs.
