    Switching to F/T.

    Hey guys.

    Two of my Bp's. A Fire male, and a normal female don't wanna eat F/T rats or mice
    Do you have any ideas, or tips that could help me switch them.
    they'll eat live readily enough, but i can't get em to eat F/T!!

    Please help?

    How old r they? Try to use hari dryer make the ft rats warm. I mean warmer than live ones. It works for me. Also try with much smaller size first. And try to move away from them like the rat is running away.

    Re: Switching to F/T.

    There are a couple threads up here on tricks to switching to f/t but it really is a case to case situation. I have 2 females that absolutely will only eat live. The others have eaten f/t from the start, so I haven't witnessed any tricks actually working myself, but search for f/t switch in the search bar and you should find those threads! Good luck
