Ok so i go to my local PETLAND store and pick up nice live small/medium rat (70g). What i noticed when i put it (in box) on empty shelf in my rack after only 10 minutes Odin was sitting in his hide with 1/3 body out s-shaped ready for strike... I used to defrost my F/T in empty tub as well and dont get effect like that... I think they just dont smell good enough for him. He of course strike kill and eat live rat without any problem.
I think I just need to look for different source of F/T rats. My local PETLAND carry frozen but too big.. smallest they have weight way over 100g and deliveries are to irregular this is why i was forced to get F/T in PETCO. Now i see that was mistake...
Anyway I'll check few more places for right sized F/T if I dont find them I'll stick to live.
My biggest issue against feeding live was my roommate who just dont want to have live rats in the house.. but lately he give up
Anyway I'm happy that he eat... we'll see what will happen within next couple weeks.
