OK, I got a strange one here. I have 3 black rats, all housed seperatley. Various sizes/ages. All are GREAT eaters. I recently got an order of mice shipped, like I always do. 2 of the snakes eat the mice no problem. The other one absolutley REFUSES to even think about taking the new mice. But, if I get one out of the old bag, it eats it instantly. This has went on for a month or more.

So, my question is, for some reason, if there is a foul odor on these new mice, is there any way to get rid of it, or tame it down, so I can use these mice on the 3rd snake also? I seem to remember something posted here a while ago about this, but not sure. Thanks for any help.
