Some advice needed!!!

This question is actually for a friend of mine. He has a 6 month old 0.1 African Rock python that will not eat rats. For some reason she will only eat mice. This snake should be eating medium rats by now...but all she does is kill it then leave it there. Even when its a really small rat..she wont eat it. My friend tried leaving a small rat in the same box as a few mice to try and sent it..but still she killed it..but wouldnt eat it. I guess he is looking for some advice on how to switch his afrock over to rats...he is tired of buying 8 mice to feed to her. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thats pretty interesting .. I have never heard of a rock that would refuse rat of even anything for that matter..

Best suggestion I can tell u is read up in the Ball python forums .. there is over 40 threads that are about bad feeders and switching to rats.. apply it to your rock..
