My albino water eats ft mice... I find the easiest way to switch them is to keep live goldfish or a few frozen in your house... Thaw out your mouse, and then get a goldfish... hold the goldfish in your hand or flat on a table and with a razor blade slice off (get goldfish with the biggest flowing tail fins) push straight down with a razor blade onto the clear (no pain no damage) fin section on the tail.. put the goldfish back... now take the fin wich is pretty much a see though piece f skin and spread it out.. like a blanket drape it over the mouses hear and push it doen so it sticks thoroughly... put it in the cage... usually works with no other problems.. just keep making the piece smaller and sooner or later they just take the mice.. you may have to offer a small fich first to get them in feed mode til they are use to the mice then it's not necessary.. good luck, let me know how it wrks...
