Hi scotty, yeh thats why i asked in your other thread what he was eating in the shop before. You would be one of the lucky ones if he was eating mice then you brought him hm, offered a rat and he took it. Not that it doesn't happen though. Couple of options i can think of right would either be to persevere trying with rats. Try scenting the rat with a mouse or fresh mouse bedding i found works even better. to help him convert. He just needs to smell what is familiar to him as a prey item. Or get him feeding with you on mice and then convert him over to rats if thats your wish.
R.e the guard as danny said what temps is the guard getting to?
