from mice to rat.

[revent]

My jungle carpet python aurora is about a year and a half old. For about the last five months or so I've been trying really hard to get her to eat rats instead of mice. The only way I have managed to be successful is to more or less gut a mouse and get the rat covered in mouse blood, and even then she is super suspicious of it and takes forever to decide to eat it, where as when I fed her mice she jumped on them almost before I put it in her cage.

I've tried braining the rats, flavoring with chicken broth, just rubbing them with mice and even super heating them. I've left her alone with em all night and she just doesn't want nothing to do with em.

So my question is what should I do? Should I just try to starve her into eating themaybe not feed her for a couple of months and then offer? ( I've tried it for a couple of weeks but just gave up and mouse blood scented on for her) should I just continue scenting with mouse blood? Or should I just give up and let her be a mouser.
