i'm so happy to read he's doing so well.
Thanks! Pretty exciting and such a relief......
Do you think it's ok to leave the 2nd f/t pup in there all night and retrieve in the morning if it's not gone? I've done it before w/ mice and it's been 50/50 whether it's gone in the morning.

Thanks! I left it but it was still there this morning. I was concerned leaving it over night might pose a health risk with the rat spoiling. On the same note, he was active tonight which leads me to believe the small rat pup wasn’t enough. Just ordered some weened rats from Big Cheese today.

Re: It Happened! Conversion from Mice to Rats!!!
Just got my 1st order of Weaned Rats today from Big Cheese and was a little nervous to see if he would take the larger size rat since he’s had such a history of problems.
I’ll let you be the judge
It’s amazing how awesome a bag of soiled mouse bedding works. I’d pay top dollar for it!!!!!

Even more satisfying now because I was almost at the edge of giving up on rats. It wasn't too long ago that I was dropping small mice and having to come back in the morning to see if they were gone.
I've never seen him fly out of the cage like this and attack his prey. I wasn't sure how to get him back in at 1st
How's your little guy doing???

All that patience and persistence finally paid off! Soon you’ll have him waiting expectingly up against the glass on feeding day and be grateful you have tongs :p don’t be surprised if this starts happening when he knows it’s dinner time haha.

Tapioca is doing great! A hungry little savage as ever haha but still the sweetest boy :p He’s on weaned mice as well but honestly he might be ready for small rats soon!
