weaning to rats

[Kymberli]

My new pastel was eating live mice when she was with her old owner and ive had her for nearly two weeks now btw so i let her settle in. and i want to wean her onto f/t rats. ive offered it to her twice now and im worried shes not gonna take unless i try something. but that something is wat i have no idea of haha. she will strike at it and even hit it but she wont constrict or eat it afterwards. any pointers?

Going from live mice to f/t rats is a bit of a jump for most BPs, in my opinion. You may have to try live rat pups first since she was previously on live. If she takes a few live rat pups, try a prekilled rat (not f/t). My Pin was on live small rats for nearly three years and has been readily accepting prekilled small rats for the past few feedings. Eventually I will try f/t with him.
