First of all I would like to say hello because I am new here.

MY BP is around 1 1/2 years, 3 ft long, and is currently eating 2 large live mice every other week. I have been trying to convert him to small f/t rats but he does not have ANY interest.

He chomps away at the live mice as soon as they hit the feeding box but he shys away from any rat. I really want to try and convert him into eating F/T rats because it is much cheaper and he is plenty big enough to eat rats.

I have tried tricking him by giving him a live mouse first and then dump the F/T rat out of the mouse box, but that has not worked. As soon as he smells/sees the rat he loses interest and does not want to feed anymore. I have tried dangling it in front of him and dropping it in the box next to him as well.

I've heard things like dip in chicken broth or rub the chips from the mouse tank on it....any insight? Any other help would be appreciated. Maybe he is just spoiled and will never convert to f/t.
