Hi, does anyone have any suggestions. I have a burm like this one, 2 months old, who I just can't get to eat pre-killed. I've tried tongs, and the whole thing, but he won't eat it unless it's live.

I'm not too stressed now, but the idea of feeding it large rats and live rabbits does worry me some. Those rabbits and rats look like they could give my german shepard a hard time

A burm, even a hatchling can take small rats. I've had the tiniest rock python eat a huge medium rat for me. What I'm getting at this is that a small or medium rat(what it should be fed) can do significant damage to the snake. Even if the snake kills it fast, the rat can still bite. And it's much easier to switch them when they are young, so that's kind of stupid what you said. They're not huge now, but after a year or two of live I don't think they'll switch as easilly as they would have earlier. Also, I would rather feed a large snake live over a small one. Reason being, large snakes eat things like rabbits, and I would feed a live rabbit over a live rat any day. I see rats do more damage, and although rabbits can kick, I don't see them doing what a live rat can do. I've fed my old 14ft super tiger a live 10lb NZ rabbit and he didn't even bite it, just slowly wrapped his tail around it and killed it. The rabbit didn't try to do anything, but a rat would have teared him up.
So I would keep trying p/k or f/t.

You didn't mention stunned in the begining. Stunned is different than completely live.
