Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Missing the target
This is not a big deal. It is more that I find it interesting. I purchased a pretty good amount of CH babies recently. They're all eating great on live hoppers etc. And I've got most of them switched over the f/t.
The funny thing is that these little guys can pick off a live mouse with pin point accuracy, faster than the eye can see. But if you hold a f/t mouse, 1/2 inch from their nose, and don't move it, they may miss it up to 3 times before they actually get it. They'll go high, to the left or right. Sometimes they get frustrated and back off. They get it eventually and it seems they learn after a while. The ones that have had 3 or more meal f/t don't miss as much.
The only thing I can think of is that they use their labial pits to zero in on the mouse and since I don't warm up the mouse they miss it, even if it is right in front of their nose.

I noticed that too with some of my BPs, but since I no longer feed F/T I have not thought about that. I think you may be on to something.

I've noticed that too...I have a little female who targets my hand if I don't get the rat really warm. I guess my hand is warmer than the rat.
