So it's been a week since he has been here, and rats arrived so I tried to feed Nick. Before I go on: No I haven't been handling him, I tried chicken broth, smaller enclosure, braining the rat and making sure it was thawed correctly and warmed up properly.

He was interested, VERY interested especially when the chicken broth was on it and I thought "Haha now I got ya." but each time he turned away after sniffing it for nearly a dang minute.

Problem is, he's been feeding on live rats his whole three months of life so I cannot just expect him to be like "Oh yeah sure I'll fall for this!"

Anyone got any tips weening him? I can't get live rats, no place nearby has them.

I did one last ditch effort of leaving the rat in his rat in his warm hide and he went in there, as I am typing this he has come out after a while of being in there and is now perched on his branch in his viv. Idk if he has eaten it I will check when it won't stress him as much as I probably have coming back at him with strange thing that smells like food.
