What a good snake! But you get credit too, helping him settle in so fast. :gj:

Good stuff! I tried making the switch last night, without success. I got the "sniff, sniff... turned away... that is not a mouse" response.

I will be trying the switch this Friday also. Fingers crossed

For those trying, go to the pet store and get used mice bedding and let the rats run around in it for a few hours. This worked great for my two guys.

I'm about to switch over this week , she's been taking jumbo mice for the last 10 weeks since I got her

I purchase 10 frozen each purchase online but this delivery the rats are black ,

Hope the change to rats plus the colour change won't be too much of a difference .

Congrats on your snake eating! I always love to see a ball python eat as mine just came off a 7 month strike from eating, so a eating ball python is a nice sight to see. :)

Thanks! Yea, he was on "live" when I got him last December, then I went straight to F/T mice for 4 months and now we're doin' the "rat" thang. He's such a good boy. :D

Thanks!! Glad to hear the strike is finally over! That's a good stretch, 7 months. :O

So the switch she came out had a few sniffs thought this isn't a mouse and it's the wrong colour ,went back in her hide and totally blanked it .
I put the weaner rat in her tank and left her alone and went to bed

Woke up the next morning and the rat had gone so I'm taking that as a win .
