My female cinnamon right now, will eat only live mice. She get one about twice a week. She is 680 grams and I would eventually like to breed her but don't want to be buying a ton of live mice every week to feed her. I have tried to offer her a live rat pup to see if she would eat it. She will kill it, but then won't eat it. She has done this at several different offerings. Mice, she eats with no problems, rats...she will kill it, but then will poke around it for a bit, then just leave it, uneaten.

So how would you transition her from mice to rats. I would love it if she was eating f/t rats, because that is what all my other adults/sub adults are on and we buy them in bulk, but right now, I'll take her just eating rats, period.
