succesfull switch from mice to rats

Tonight I decided I was going to try and feed my girl a small rat instead of an adult mouse. She is getting too big for mice and just about right to start on rats. I was reading stories about some possible difficulties when switching from rats to mice or vice versa. My snake took the rat down no problem, so hopefully that is the start to a succesfull transition from mice to rats. That way she gets a bigger more nutrituous meal.

Thats great :gj:.In my opinion rats are a better meal for them anyways ;)

Yeah I never had a problem switching mine. It did take hime a while to figure out how to get the big thing down though.
