Soak, serve warm, offer.
Soak
Put the pieces in a small cup of hot water for 30 to 60 seconds, until they are soft like thawed prey.
Serve warm
Offer while still warm. Many snakes respond better to prey near body temperature.

The 6 Feeding Acceptance Guarantee
Reptiles can be picky, so the risk is shared. If your reptile does not accept the food after six separate feeding attempts, you can claim a refund of the product price.
- 1Make six feeding attempts within six weeks of the order arriving: about one a week.
- 2Film or photograph each attempt: the food, your reptile being offered it, and the refusal. Short videos are best; time-stamped photos work too.
- 3Email hello@goodreptiles.com within 7 days of the last attempt with your order number, the species and the six pieces of proof.
- 4Approved claims get the product price back to the original payment method in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is not refunded.
Opened food cannot be returned; refunds are made through this guarantee. It covers orders placed on goodreptiles.com. A claim can be refused when the attempts are not clearly recorded, fewer than six are shown, or the food was not stored or used as directed.
How the switch works
Bring the new food in beside the feeder your snake knows. The Transition Guide in every order has the full plan. In outline:
Feedings 1 to 3
Rub a piece on the usual feeder, then offer both side by side, then a smaller feeder with a piece. The scent becomes familiar.
Feedings 4 to 6
Offer a piece on its own, scented with a thawed feeder, and use less scent each time it is taken. If it is refused, repeat the step before moving on.
What helps: serve it warm, offer at night with the lights low, or dip it in egg or broth.
