Re: Trouble Switching to Rats

You could also try feeding a mouse, a smaller than normal prey item then chasing it with a rat. A f/t rat. Just before the snake finishes swallowing the mouse you can put the rat right into it's open mouth. Most snakes will just keep swallowing.

Re: Trouble Switching to Rats

just persevere man you know what you have to do its all just a matter of repeating the steps till it takes. its like potty training no kid wants to use the toilet they think i can just use this diaper thing that people change for me, but eventually the parent gets them so used to it they want to go to the bathroom and it becomes habit, same thing with snakes just got to get them into the habit of goin after the rat and eventually they will just eat it.
