I haven't had a problem switching any of my other snakes from mice to rats, but I have tried to feed my new boa rat pinks the last two times and, so far, no luck. I got her about 2 months ago and she has always been a bit finicky with her feedings, but ended up eating the fuzzy mice in the end. However, with the rats, she will nose at it but not eat it. I've tried keeping the light on, turning it off, and I leave it in overnight, like usual, but no luck.
I'd really like to get her switched over since rats are more nutritional and she came a bit skinny so I would like to plump her up a bit. I've debated putting a frozen rat pink in with the frozen fuzzy mice to rub some of their smell onto it. What do you think? Should I go back to mice for a bit, stick with the rats until she takes, try the smell thing, or something else? Thanks for the help.
