In fact , the only time I give up is if there is no reaction or interest AT ALL then it's usually due to them going into shed or something ..

No such luck

I checked this morning and the rat pup was still laying in the enclosure. Should I continue to try each week w. a new rat pup??

***In summary***

1st time switching from f/t mice to rats - BP regurgitated the pup

Went through the necessary steps (2 weeks off, build back up w/ small mice, etc.... - took the mice w/ no problem)

Reintroduced Rat pups and he rejected in consecutive weeks - although last night he at least showed interest by striking and keeping his head out of the hide during my several attempts.
