Mice and rats smell different to a snake. You just need to her to realize the different-smelling-fuzzy-thing is still tasty food. Hang in there! You're doing the right thing for her in the long run, even if it takes a little tough love.
Could you pm me on how to do the braining/scenting?
To clarify she eats one mouse a feeding, and she eats twice a week usually Tuesday and Saturday. She has eaten large mice as well, she had a little trouble with it so I dropped her back to the mediums. The rat weanlings thst I bought are the same size around as medium mice but longer. I just feel so bad because it has been a week since she ate last. Should I not offer her mice during trying to transition to rats, other than maybe trying mouse first then rat?
