at least for me :) So last week i tried to switch my bp to rats, good signs...he constricted and then just let go. I was pretty bumbed but i knew if hes at least going for them then it could be a good sign.
Then today i tried again but with a slightly diff approach. I thawed the rat in mouse bedding and thawed a small mouse. Then started with the mouse and he took it like usual...then right as he was about to finish i gently layed the head of the rat next to the end of the rat and he just continued eating not noticing his meal doubled in size :) It worked, and he ate his first rat ever...i hope i wont even have to use a mouse next week.
So for all who are trying to switch..maybe that'll help..? good luck and thanks for reading..hes a pic :)
