    Re: Rat scent?

    You need to add "yes and it might work" to your pole. As others have pointed out most people have heard about "scenting" but results vary. For some snakes it works, others could care less.


    If you have a tricky eater or need to make a change this is just one of several methods to try to get them to switch over.

    I personally have never tried mice to rats (or vice-versa) but I have done it live to F/T and it worked for 1 but not another.

    The person making the poll has the option to select "multiple choices." And in this case, it would appear that option is turned on.

    Smile Re: Rat scent?

    Sorry If I do not have the poll done right I am new to all of this and learnimg as I go. But I did try the rat scent on the mice and it did not work for me my ball python was raised on rats so he will not change over so I had to order forzen rat pupps for him. He is 6 months old and 22 inches long so maybe with him being young he mite one day change over who knows. Thanks for everyones input on this subject and your votes. Your help has been greatful.

    Thanks again
