Pulling the fur off can be a great "last step" in weaning. I swear sometimes they need just a few hairs.

I literally offered a rat pap, got no interest, put the tiniest bit of hair, and he coiled on it. I'm still working him off it.
folk on the UK forums call them my frankenmice (mouse head rats body)

if you told me i'd be sitting in my kitchen,chopping mouse heads off,then chopping rats heads off,then sewing mice heads onto rats bodies...

LOL I love it

I had such hard time touching frozen mice at first. I really wanted to handfeed my first snake. I didn't have gloves and the only reason I didn't use plastic to hold the mouse was because I was afraid shed catch the plastic and swallow part of it.. So I did it.. and now I've come so far beyond.. LOL
