After the 1st mouse is 80% in, gently put the nose of the FT rat behind the butt of the disappearing mouse. Her swallowing reflex will have her to continue eating the rat. Eventually she will get the "taste" of rat, and take only rats.

    Personally, I would never force feed my snake like that. And why would you want to mess with them while they are eating? There are lots of ways to try to switch them to rats. Some snakes are just mousers and will never switch. But I wouldn't stuff something down my snakes throat, I would have a mouser before I did that.
