Ive always heard the sooner the better, becauae the longer you wait the more they wont want to switch..

Some switch easier than others, but at only 6 months you've got plenty of time. If you're insistent on switching now, you can't be so quick to write off things like scenting. Waiting the animal out is something I don't suggest newer keepers rely on.
