    I just really dont want to switch him to rabbits or chicks while I can still
    feed rats because of the prices.

    So basically skip feeding him for a couple weeks and try F/T or fresh killed?
    I’d feed in the evening in low /dim lighting

    Thaw the rat in the snake room so he gets the scent well in advance... then give the rat a ten second blast with a hairdryer then offer it (INSTANTLY) whilst it’s still warm using long tongs or place it on a plate or piece of card in the viv .
