I have one carpet that for the longest time would only eat mice. I got sick of going and buying mice for just him, and seeing that I breed rats and asf's I figured I would get him on rats. At first he refused to go anywhere near the rat, f/t or live. I tired again the next week and still wanted nothing to do with it. I decided to let him miss a few meals, after two months and a few other feeding attempts he should interest in a live rat. I let the rat stay in the tub for 30-40 min, watched, and he eventually took it. So now he is on rats and we are both happy.
You may want to try an sick a few meals and keep at it. They will eventually eat when they are hungry.
