I picked up a late '16 albino male in April. Breeder was feeding pre-killed rats of various sizes. He ate with the breeder on April 4 and turned his snoot up at every version of f/t I offered him since then. On Saturday last I stopped at my local herp shop and got a live fuzzy rat. Lady that checked me out breeds BP's and suggested putting him into a smaller enclosure, since I put him into a new Reptile Basics Iris CB-70 rack. It's about 33" x 17" or so. I don't have another smaller rack, so I took a plastic "shoe box" critter keeper and put it in the back corner of the rack, long ways, so about half of it rests on the heat tape. It just barely touches the top of the rack, so he is safe in there. I pushed the litter up around the shoebox to make it dark and secure, and he did eat the fuzzy. But now I feel like a bad scientist... I have two independent variables... was it the smaller enclosure size, or the live rat?? I want to get him eating, so I think I will get another live rat early next week for him. How would you go about transitioning him to f/t? Should I offer a f/t rat fuzzy the week after, or keep going with live for a while? Also, how big do you think he needs to be before I release him back into the full size bin?? My mojave did just fine moving into the bin, though I started him in a 10 gallon when he was very small.
