I am trying to switch Leto, my JCP, to FT rat pinkies from FT mice pinkies. Tonight was my second try at it, and it doesn't look like it's going to be successful. He's just hanging out on a branch above it. The last time I tried was a week ago.
My question is, what's the best procedure for getting him to start on the rats? Should I just keep trying on a weekly basis? Should I leave the rat in there overnight or just for an hour or so? It sucks to keep wasting these rats! So far I've been trying on a weekly basis and it's only been two weeks. I'm open to suggestions, except for those where I'm supposed to cut up a mouse and smother it's brain all over a rat. We're not quite at the stage yet!
