It Happened! Conversion from Mice to Rats!!!

Last night marked six consecutive weeks my BP (formerly a mouser) took a Rat w/ aggression. If I could make a recommendation to anyone struggling to convert from mice to rats would be to scent w/ dirty mouse bedding!

And last night was the 1st night I chose not to scent and it worked like a charm. In fact, he was waiting for me to offer. I was almost fearful of opening the sliding glass door because he was cocked and ready...haha.....

So my BP has being going strong on F/T weaned Rats but the last two times he has eaten he's refused a week in between. The 1st time, he barley came out of his hide and then last night he came out like he was interested and then went back in after trying to heat/offer him 4-5 times. I'm wondering I just need to increase the feeding days from 7 days to something like 10-14 days? The days he has eaten have been a nice aggressive strike.
