That sounds okay to me. I would start off with rats as soon as possible though.

If I threw the f/t mice in with the f/t rats bag would that help with scent switch at all? Just a random idea (=

It's worth a shot, but you can just try a f/t rat by itself first. That's what I would do. Some can be picky and then some do the switch fine, it's all personality.

Yes, I think that works. I have never done it myself, but I've heard other people doing that. Scent the f/t rat with the mouse, and if the snake eats it, try not scenting it the next time.

Awesome. I shall try the rat first by itself then if that's a no-go I'll try scenting the rat with a mouse. Then next feed I'll try unscented again, etc. Lol. Thank you! This helped a lot. I just want the best for my BP.:D
