This is why i hate f/t. 10 bucks of overpriced petco food down the drain. They both refused tonight. I want to keep trying f/t because f/t will be the cheaper way to feed them in the long run. I can't keep a rodent colony right now. I have to use RodentPro and I'm pissed at the prices at PetCo.
Their action really have me worried and frustrated. The male showed intrest and kept flicking his tongue while i was holding the rat doing the dance but he never struck. I thought maybe it was too cold and warmed the rat up again and he still didn't go for it. After a few minutes, he just balled up and acted scared of the rat.
The female showed absolutly no interest. she acted scared from the second i started dangling her food in front of her, doing the dance and everything else.
I am so bummed. i thought for sure tonight was going to be a snap, but boy was I wrong.
I'm starting to think they may be super stressed out from the trip last week..i dunno what else to do but attempt to feed again in an hour or so. I have a medium rat that is still thawing that was supposed to be for the female. If she's not interested in the small rat, then she won't be interested in the medium rat.
