Sabre munched her first rat this morning. Been feeding her medium mice but it's not really making a bulge and she's hunting round after only a few days so got a bag of rats.

She went straight on it and proved much more of a task over a med mouse.







Quick Bask and a drink, you can see the bulge nicely now

So that was the first of 2, and then a period where she will not take to rats.
I'm trying everything to convert her over. I'm trying desperate tatics now. Put her back into a breeding box with a brained rat. All inside her Viv.
I hate seeing her trying to get out but i have wasted nearly 20 rats now.

Any other tips? I tried defrosting with a mouse, braining, small mouse followed by a rat and although she will take a 2nd mouse she won't take a rat.

i would say that the weight you are after would be weaner size. by me weaners start at about 25g. you could ask a store to weigh them out so you know what weight you are getting.
