Have You Heard of Doing This With Problem Feeders?

rodent pro has guinea pigs and rabbits as well as everything else, its worth it to buy from them in bulk if you don't have a local breeder.

Re the problem Burm--One of our local breeders (big-time breeder of BPs) told me to get rat poop and roll the F/T fuzzy in it to scent it with a more natural "live" smell when I was trying to get a BP switched from live to thawed.

Have you tried rolling the rat in mouse poop? If not, you might try it--get a good amount of fresh mouse poop to do this, about 1/2 cup or so, and really roll that rat in the mouse poop. Maybe, just maybe, that will work! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I haven't heard of this. I normally get frozen feeders, but I do have a couple that are on live. I'm going to the local mom/pop pet store where I get my live and see if they can help me with a few different suggestions I want to try. I want to try gerbils and rabbit pinks. They're pretty understanding about feeding problem feeders so if they have what I'm looking for I can probably get it. I'll also ask them if I can scoop up some poo from their breeder mice and try that.
