So am I out of the woods??

I FINALLY got my girl to eat a rat! I did it by thawing the rat in the same Zip-loc as a mouse and them rubbing them all over each other. I guess the rat smelled a lot like a mouse because she took it with out question. So does this mean she has a taste for rats now and she is a rat eater?

Well no not exactly. She may stay with it and keep taking rats or she may have just been hungry enough to not care lol. If it worked then try again. As long as she's not losing weight, it won't hurt her to refuse a few meals. If she continues to refuse rats then try giving her a mouse and as soon as she swallows give her a rat.

It means that she ate a rat that she thought was a mouse. I would just keep doing that and every now and then try the rat by itself.
