Sorry to hear about your scare Ken, I'm glad to hear that Rex is ok. I was wondering how to make the transition myself. I've read the if you feed it a freshly killed mouse and follow it up with a F/T( wiggling to simulate movement) it may work. I guess if they are already in feeding mode, they will hit anything and not think much about it. This is just what I read, so I'm not sure if it actually works or not. Some of the more experienced members on the site should be able to offer more insight.
