HOw old is your JCP? I have some old JCPs that won't convert. I had my first clutch of JCP's this year and I got them all eating rat pinkies with out a problem.

The tricks I tried but didn't work for me:

Use make a mouse scent. Expensive

Brain a pinkie and scent a rat with it.

Store Frozen mice in a bag with frozen rats.

What worked for me:

Order mice in large quanities from RodentPro.com

Breeding JCPs and converting them early (they are to small as neonates to start on rat pinkies)

have fun,

Jeff
