    Feeding Question

    My BP is at the size now where adult mice is to small for him and i can't get him to eat rats. So my question is should I feed him two mice a week or keep trying and see if I can switch him to rats?

    Yeah wait about a week in between meals, see if you can't scent your rat with mouse bedding and see if he takes it. Usually over time they will convert if done correctly.
