My buddys bp will eat mice 3 or 4 at a time sometimes but he will not have anything to do with a rat! Even if he has not eaten in 2 or 3 weeks the snake will not show any interest in the plain white rats that look just like the mice but bigger and of corse smell different. What can he do to get his bp to switch to rats?? He tried the stinky mice bedding once to no avail, he is trying to feed the rats live to see if the snake is interested first. The rat is not to big for the snake, and he has been trying to switch the snake to rats for like 2 months. Any help will be greatly appriciated!
