    Live mouse to f/t rat
    Should I switch to f/t first or rats first? Or just both at once?

    The 650g female eats live mice fine, sniffed all over the f/t rat, but decided against it. The 900g live mouse/asf-er male should be going back on feed around now, but didn't go for it either. Both responded very well to tossing a little dirty mouse bedding in there.

    Am I trying to change too much at once?

    If I heat up the head of the rat, is that releasing too much rat smell for a mouser? Can I do without it if that is the case?

    My ball python is picky too, she doesnt want her rats at all, she only eats her mice, if the snake keeps refusing the thawed rats, try a live rat, if that works maybe the snake will learn rats are food too and then you might be able to switch over to thawed rats as well.
