Re: Funkadelic Rat Smell

Thank you for the replies and suggestions!

I bought the rats (about 25 medium and 10 large) from rodentpro. Since then I have read a few people suggesting other suppliers. There is a definite learning curve to caring for these amazing creatures (snakes, not rats, haha).

I tried the dangling trick but my snake won't strike still. I also tried melting a little chicken fat and rubbing some on the rat fur prior to feeding. That worked, but I just happened to be cooking chicken that night.

I'm going to wait a week and try again. Hopefully hunger will outweigh being picky. Any other thoughts are welcome!
