i went to the rep shop yesterday to get some weaners and they only had large ones, but i am not sure about giving them to Peanut, they are almost the size of small rats barring three quarters of an inch...
He could take it i am sure, but he would struggle..and i dont want to hurt him. |

Yes a small weaner, or a large fluff. |

Thanks all. We've been really lucky with her, so far she's eaten everything she's been offered. Now we just need her to oblige with a turd.  |

Tibo was a mouse feeder when I got him. He refused rats. Then he went on hunger strike and refused everything, even gerbils. He eventually took chicks and a single mouse after his fast, but I really want him on rats. He refused a rat weaner I left him overnight, so, as I had one chick left (I don't want him to have any more chicks really as they are nutritionally poor and I don't want him fixated on them) I tried him with it. He sniffed the chick and then took it (sideways on, so took ages to swallow it!) but just as the chick was disappearing down I popped the rat head in his mouth. He swallowed it down nicely. Result!
Since feeding he has been roaming round his viv like a lunatic. I hope he has a taste for them now. We shall see. |

| you could always try cutting a wing of the chick and putting it in the rats mouth...you may have to dislocate its jaw to get it in there... |

Great idea. I do not fancy putting a rat in a "chick jacket" though- sounds messy and I have no idea where my dissection kit is  |

| African Soft-Furred Rat for me... a.k.a. multi-mammate. They're easy to raise, so I have a little breeding colony going on. I just priced my breeding colony and it came out to about $0.25 a rat not counting my effort. |

i could not breed them for food though..lol... |
