My recently acquired mojave adult male who has yet to eat in the 2.5 weeks I've had him. I was told by the previous owner that he did lock up with a female this season so that could be a reason. I was also told that he only ate rats and they had to be brown or black and live. I've tried a normal med ft rat, a small black hooded ft rat and a small hooded fk rat and he had zero interest. I'm just trying everything easily available to me before I go buy find a colored rat or try to feed him live. I guess my question is is does color really matter that much to them? If so can you break that habit? I can find colored tats but they are much farther away and I'd prefer to not drive so far each time I need a feeder. Btw I did also try braining and his temps are all good.
