I’ve heard stories of older WC animals that would only eat birds, I think that’s mentioned in one of the podcasts I sent. Best of luck

Thank you. He came in on May 27th, so it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm one of those people that usually buys from local breeders and wants to know everything before a purchase, so this is uncharted territory for me. In multiple ways

I scented the first rat I offered (thawed it with a chick) after waiting a week. He freaked out from under his hide, and I heard him making disapproving huffing noises....So I backed off.

I'll keep an eye on his weight and try it again in a week. If it doesn't take, I'll buy a live rodent and see if that works
