I am new jcp owner, i have a little guy hatched last December I belive. I have done a fair amount of research w/regards to scenting rats and getting them to switch over. The question I havent seen many opinions on is weather its better/easier to try to switch him over now while hes young, to rat pups? Or would it be better to feed him mice until hes big enough for weanling/small rats as is typical(for my boas at least...) Or does it matter?

je is ravenous, he has no problem eating hopper/small mice, instantly takes them, once a week, first time was live and since f/t. The one time I offered a rat, he recoiled & looked at it the same way my kids look at broccoli.
