Hi Sonya,

It is all coming together. I just fed the most finicky snake today. This was the one that I thought was going to never switch. I took a 2 1/2 week old rat about 30 grams. Basically the same size of the mice I have been feeding. I scented the rat for about 10 mins and stuck it in. Bang....The snake took it just as fast as the mice. I am so blown away. I really think I have learned how to get my mice eaters to switch. I still have a few to go, but I think I have the info needed on a successful switch. Thanks for all the help to everyone. One other thing is that I have been trying to breed mice and it looks like the colony ate off all the babies like you told me about Sonya. I never saw any babies but all the females where huge and than the all looked small again and when I looked there were no babies in sight. They all look pregnant again and we will see.....Fingers crossed...

Mark
