Should I step up to rats?

Big difference between trying to convert from live to f/t, and from mouse to rat. Live to f/t can be harder. I would try getting her on rats. There is nothing wrong with feeding live, IMO. If your husbandry is spot on, she is likely to eat better too. If she wouldn't eat/switch for him, how was his set up? Tank, tub? Temps? How were temps controlled? A thermostat to control uth is a must.

That makes sense. He had her in a horrible setup, which is the main reason I got her. She was in a glass tank that was only about two feet long with no light and no UTH and definitely no thermostat. All she had was a stick and a cat litter pan with dirty water in it. It looks like she was on mulch or something. Here's a pic actually:



I now have her in a 41 quart rubbermaid on aspen with an uth controlled by a dimmer atm until I can get a thermostat. She has a clean water dish and a hide as well.
