Hey guys!
So, my burm doesn't accept rats... He had 3 feeding days with me:
On day one, I gave him a mouse because that's what he was being fed by the breeder. He took it, no hesitation. On the second feed, I tried a rat. He wasn't interested, so I opened the rat's head and tried again. No strike. I left it there, came back after 10min and he was eating the rat. Today he shed in one piece (very happy about that
) and as soon as it was night he was out to hunt. I took out a rat, offered...no interest. Opened the rat's head, nothing. Scented the rat with a mouse, he striked and constricted, but dropped it after 5 min. Tried again, no reaction, just smelling. As soon as I offered the mouse, bam! No hesitation.
Where do I go from here? He will outgrow mice in a blink of an eye... What tricks can I use to put him on rats permanently (until he is grown enough to eat rabbits)?
Thanks! I really want this rat thing to work out. It's extremely frustrating -.-'
My burm hates rats...
