    Pre-killed over f/t?

    I have one BP that won't eat f/t; he'll only eat pre-killed... WHY?! Do they choose what they want because of the smell? The f/t are the same temperatures as the pre-killed. I really don't get his preference!! I'm completely stumped!!

    They know! Think about it.

    Why do we prefer a charbroiled burger over a frozen one thrown in the microwave?

    I don't have experience in switching. Someone will be along to explain the best process.

    We did 3 weeks live when we first got him (after a month of not eating), and then switched him to pre-killed and he's taken them ever since. He shows interests in f/t but won't ever take them..

    Have you tried leaving it in over night?
    or maybe put 2 smaller rats in, one p/k and one f/t. Once he's in feeding mode, it'll be hard for him to refuse another.
