I fed her 3-4 times with f/t mice just to get her started and feeding for me. I then began thawing a f/t rat pup with the mice and letting it sit with the rat while coming up to room temp (i.e. put the mouse on top of it). This was done for 3-4 more feedings, then I thawed the rat pup in the same ziploc as the mouse, but did not do the scent-rubbing. I have offered her one un-mouse-scented weaned rat so far and she took it. I have not had a chance to do another feeding because she was in shed. I will be attempting again tomorrow.Originally Posted by Pengil
Thanks, I'm hoping so too.He was last fed on the 2nd, and I plan to try to feed him Friday, so hopefully he'll be good and hungry by then. Did you have a tough time switching yours over to rats?
Oh! I found out his hatch date was 08/16/17! How close is that to your girl's?
I will have to go back and look at my communications with him to see what her hatch date was. I didn't put that info in my record book like I normally do. I will get back with you once I find it.
Mine is a total nut job. She is extremely skittish and if I've pulled her tub out, and she sees me across the room, she will start defense striking towards meI'm hoping she grows out of that lol.
