    Re: mice to rats. hard?

    I just bought a small rat after three weeks of feeding three mice a week. He took it with no problem or hesitation. As for going live to frozen/thawed I have no idea. I feed live rats.

    Re: mice to rats. hard?

    i found that by switching to a juvie rat that was approx 2x the size of the mice i had been using Monty not only got interested quicker (hes a bit of a finicky eater) but that the mass that hes but on since i switched him over is probably double his original wieght

    Re: mice to rats. hard?

    Jake took to rats just as well as mice. I guess I got blessed with an awesome feeder! He'll take anything. I think if I put a stuffed animal in there, he'd probably try to kill/eat that too! lol

    Just make sure to get an appropriately sized rat, and all should be fine.
