Greetings:
I purchased a collection semi-locally, from a friend of a friend who needed surgery.
the collection included
1.1 Axanthic adults
1.1 Spider adults
0.1 Pinstripe sub-adult
1.0 Paintball
1.0 dbl het albino pied
0.1 normal

others that were purchased in the months before/after were
1.0 butter
1.0 pied
1.0 black pastel
0.1 pastel

I decided to go directly to f/t food so that i can save on $ in the long run and I don't have the room to breed mice/rats.
I initially tried to feed small rats that I dethawed in the room in tubs of water for 1 hr then hit heads w/ hair dryer for 30 seconds each, played a zombie dance.
only 1 hit the first time, spider male
second feeding, tried to give f/t adult mice,
axanthic male and dbl het and pied ate
third, gave f/t adult mice
axanthic male ate 2 dbl het ate 2 normal female ate black pastel ate paintball ate and pastel ate.

I know it got really wordy there but the point of it all is my females I'm trying to fatten up to breed aren't eating and I'm about to change them over to f/t guinea pigs.
I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on this matter.

thanks.
