next week im gonna try to get him on rats..do you think its to early to try since he has only eating twice successfully?

[sapphire_moon]

get him on rats ASAP. Just find one thats about the same size as the adult mouse.....You don't want a 4ft BP that only eats mice!

[Bartman]

lol true..do you know the best way to convert him? They told me to rub a rat with a mouse..should i defrost them both and litterally just rub them together? is there anything else i can try aswell?

Good to hear he's eating for you,he's a nice lookin ball.

Congrats on him eating for you again :)

As for converting -- before you start trying any tricks, honestly just defrost a rat and see what happens. LOL... I didn't have any problems at all with my bp, he took rats as soon as I offered them to him -- no scenting or anything required. Give it a shot :) If you try with a rat a couple of times and don't have any luck, then you can try scenting etc...

well when i had him for the first month he didnt take any rats and the second i got a mouse he snatched it thats why im almost positive i have to scent it

Yeah, mine had no trouble going from mice to rats. But tell us how it goes now when u try a rat :) If it doesnt work then u might have to try the "rubbin' trick" GOOD LUCK!!!
