Success!

I feel like I feel like I just won the lottery
I just switched 5 babies nd 1adult from live mice to frozen rats on my first try. I cant believe it. Even my stubborn albino likes frozen rats over prekilled mice it seems. Thanks for all the support everyone! This community has been wonderful to me!

:) :gj:

It is awesome when this happens!!!

Yah! All of them have only had live their entire life. Even the 3 year old girl I just picked up. They just chowed down though. I'm thrilled!

Can you post detail of how did you do that? I have tried on mine last week, but didn't work. Can you share how you did it with me?

Thanks

Well, I do recommend feeding at night or at least in a very dark place. I moved my entire rack into my closet and fed them all in the dark. Except for my adult who is being quarantined. I also fed them when they were in their hides. My albino refused earlier in the week, so I put a different hide in her bin. It seemed to do the trick.
Also, warmed up the rat pups with a hair dryer until they were nice and warm, and let them sit in a bag that had mouse droppings in it.

I think think lady luck played a pretty big part in this too! There are tons of threads with tricks. That is why I thanked the entire community!

OH, don't try offering them food every day, I waited a few in between.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I will try this way. I don't think I need to do the mouse dropping part, because mine all feeding on live rats, and they are still babies. from 200 to 500 g

I have one more question, lucky lady. When you feed them, you place the F/T outside the hide or you use a tong to wave a bit outside?

Thanks again.

Maybe I will ask my girl friend to feed them next time.
