Switching to rats

[stupidcracker00]

One thing that I recently saw on SnakeBytes was the use of vanilla extract to scent the rat. You could try that.......

Ok. I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thanks for the info

You could try offering a live rat. It might help her with identifying it as a food source. If she takes it then offer live for about 4 weeks, then switch her to f/t.
Have you tried just leaving the rat laying about 2 inches in front of the hide overnight?

One thing I've seen people recommend before is to work out a deal with your local pet shop where you can get their dirty mouse bedding when they change it. Once you thaw the rat, put it in the mouse bedding for a while then offer it.

I've also seen people recommend putting Tuna juice on the rats. Personally, I'm a little skeptical about that and would probably have to see it to believe it...

I thought of offering her live but Petco doesn't sell small live rats.

No I have not tried leaving it in front of the hide over night. I'll do that tonight.

Ok, you are the 5th person to talk about mouse bedding. I really need to try that. Next time I go pick up some rats I'll ask them if they will give me some.

Ya I'm a little skeptical about the tuna juice. If it reeeaallyy comes down to it I might try it... But I would have to be the most desperate bp owner in the history of bp owners lol.

Thanks for yalls comments and advice. I really hope it makes a difference. Keep the advice comin if u have anymore. The more the better!

Thanks again,
