Just saw your post. Congrats. Gotta be a relief.
Can you tell me how you went about getting your BP to eat rats? I have a pastel who is refusing rats. Seems mostly uninterested (will pose as if going to strike, smell the rat up and down, and then leave it) whereas I barely lower a mouse into the feeding pen and she strikes and constricts.
A few details:
I've had her since Oct 11
she's eating F/T mice
weighed 75 grams on arrival
up to 102 grams now
I also have a Mystic Potion about the same age who I'm having to assist feed. She wouldn't take rats or mice. Breeder was feeding her live rats, but I can't get any near my home.
Thanks for any help!
