alright i've my dumeril for about a year and half now and she eats wonderful on f/t mice. she's getting bigger now so for awhile i've been trying to feed her rats. i have tried everything i can think of; rat first then mouse, mouse first rat, thawing them together, keeping mouse and rat together, leaving it in over night...just about everything and she has never struck one! i'm to the point where i might try live rats any advice on this?
