getting my ball python onto rats!
Hi guys, ive had my nearly 1 year old male albino ball python two weeks now. The previous owner only fed him on chicks and drop fed. . . not good! So i asked my local reptile shop and they suggested defosting a chick and rat weiner together and opening up the chick to scent the rat with the chick and try which i will this weekend ive left it two weeks to make sure hes real hungry to get a better chance, any other suggestions? :)

The defrosting together trick should work i do it with mice to rats. try the chick defrosted with the rat a few times then switch to the rat defrosted with the chick,then to a rat defrosted alone.
