Feeding question

[patrick76]

I have been feeding my 1 year old ball large mice now and i think i should switch to rats where he can have a bigger meal. What is the best way to get him to swith to rats? I have tried to feed them to him but he will not take any.

you can try rubbing the mouse on the rat that should make the rat smell like a mouse then try feding it to hime ..just a suggesstion

I tried that, no luck doing that.

[SamuraiZr0]

dunno what else to tell ye.. try waiting for two weeks then feed him one.. again just a suggestion

[patrick76]

Still cant get him to eat doing that.

It doesn't matter. Whatever he is readily eating and whatever you can get conveniently, is what you should feed him.

All of mine, 50 plus, eat mice. They grow, thrive, do everything they are supposed to do.

When he outgrows one mouse, feed two Adult males don't need over 2-3 mice a week, sometimes every 10 days.
