Given the success with live and the spotty success/failure with f/t, I’m thinking about trying a fuzzy/largest-with-eyes-closed rat for next feeding. I was thinking of getting two fuzzy mice and a rat and doing the mice first and then the rat. This way if it is an absolute aversion to rats, he already has food in him and I don’t miss a week of feeding and I can take the rat back.
Any glaring negatives to this as a next step?
