    Would I sell a snake because he is a mouse eater? No I have one like this and while he is for sale the reason is not him eating mice, he just no longer fit in my projects.

    The advantage is that I breed both rats and mice so mice eater are no issue for me.

    a week or two is not much time at all. My little baby ball took 4 weeks before she ate her first pinky, and I had to leave it in her tank overnight, Which is a luxury you cannot do with rats.

    what size rats are you trying to feed? Have you considered trying to scent rat pups that are barely opening their eyes? Ide try that, and try once a week for about two months or so, eventually your snake will get the idea I would hope.

    From everything ive read they can go over a year without eating, while that isn't desired, perhaps once your snake is hungry enough and feels safe enough attacking a rat pup and gets the taste in its mouth, maybe it'll see that rats not so bad afterall =D I myself would probably go about 3-4 months with this method before ide give up, unless someone wiser says to do otherwise.

    My female pastel is a big pain she only eats mice but I fugured something out the other day I first fed her a mouse and after she got it down.i offered a rat and while she was still in feed mode she stuck constricted and ate a rat so thats my trick from now on we will see if it continues to work
