I am trying to get Atticus to switch to rats, and he has No interest in them. I'm not sure if it's the size or the unfamiliar smell, but he will just slither away and hide when they are offered. I tried to thaw a mouse with the rat, but that did not help. I guess I could ask the pet store for mouse bedding, but my hope is that he will just give in eventually.

Side note - classic blunders:
1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia
2. Never go in against a Cecilian when death is on the line
3. Never try to beat a cold-blooded animal at a waiting game

*sigh*

Questions:
1. How long should I try before Giving up?
2. Are rats always so stinky when they are thawed/warmed, or did I get a bad batch? The two I have thawed out so far are WAY more fragrant than mice.
