i find T-Rex mouse maker works great to switch them over, i usually let the snake go hungry for two weeks then offer a rat with the mouse maker on and they go for it.

I switched my biggest gal to rats before she decided to fast this winter using the ProExotics FAQ. I know from personal experience that Robyn is a great guy, and Pro Exotics is one of the best of the best. Check out their FAQ about switching. here it is:
