Sorry, apparently I wasn't very clear. Said snake has been eating 3 p/k mice a week. I was able to find a correctly sized rat once so I fed him that with no problem p/k. He took the rat right away. So I figured if I got the correct size of rat f/t he would eat them and that way there would only be one thing to swallow instead of 3, cheaper, easier blah blah. So I don't know if he doesn't wanna eat it cause its a rat or because its f/t. Does this make more sense? lol
