LOL. but fr tho, i've actually never had to use any tricks to get my guys to make the switch. [emoji4]

Sorry I guess I did not see this thread that you said this. My bad!!

Would you say use what I have or get them switched now. My guy thunder has had 3 straight mice... I guess I can order new rats and just try?

How long does a sealed bag of mice stay. My mandarin is a long way from big mice if he ever gets there so I dunno. Maybe someone locally will take them and I’ll get on the rat train

no worries! i just didn't want to retype all that hahaha.

use what you have; no need to worry just yet. Pumpkin Pie has been on mice since his birth around this past september. 6mo old and switched easily. as long you provide good husbandry and offer just right, on paper it should be no problem. if not, there's many tips and tricks out there.

EDIT: f/t feeders can last ~a year if stored correctly.

Omg I love the little tug of war you had with Corny! Yellow gave me a chuckle with how much he let his rat pat him on the face before he decides it's go time haha. Coffee bean is a feisty girl! I love them all! What a fun video thanks for sharing!

Corny is such a goof! i had no idea what to do, as you can see! what, did i really expect him to let go??? hahaha.

this was pretty tame for Coffee Bean! hahaha. she's usually snapping at ANYTHING near her tub on feeding day; i couldn't believe i had to tease her so much!

You must of provided some type of positive energy last night because I went down to feed my boy and he was as alert as can be. I opened the sliding door and at the 1st sound of the hair dryer he perked up and came out of his hide. As soon as I presented the mouse, he struck like a champ and went into a double barrel roll around his meal. I was like Whoa!!!!!!! Now this was 14 days since his last meal but I might have to try and get him back on a 7 day schedule. It's amazing how a good feeding can make you so proud and smile from ear to ear!
