what size rat is the equivalent to a medium mouse?

[Eric Alan]

My super pastel is still giving me problems with eating. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong but idk what. He has plenty of hides, plants, humidity and temps are perfect. He always seems interested then gets scared it seems. He has ate for me 4 times in the past 2 in a half months. Rats is always thawed and heated properly. Tried different sizes. I've tried f/t, pre killed, and live. So far f/t has been what he's ate on the 4 occasions so I just stick to that. Only thing I haven't tried is mice.

Is he your only BP, or is he an exception to your otherwise good-eating collection? Have you posted pics of his set-up for open feedback? Sometimes having a second set of eyes can be helpful. On this forum, there are lots of folks available to do just that.
