    Switch Mice-to-Rats Success!

    Well...I guess I worried for nothing. Used up the frozen mice last week and went to Big Cheese where I purchased medium rats. Even the guy at Big Cheese told me that BPs were picky and might not switch so easily. I thawed out two white rats that weighed 90 g each.

    I had no mouse to rub them with and no soiled mouse bedding. I just went through the same preparations I always did with the mice. With no hesitation whatsoever, they both had perfect strikes and swallowed them with no problem!

    I'm so proud of my boys
