Tricks to get Rhino rats to eat

Posted by thomas1 on November 20, 2002 at 17:25:59:

I'm not worried yet, but any suggestions to get my rhino rats eating anything would be fantastic. One of them may have eaten two guppies but I'm not positive(sometimes the guppies flop out of the water and go unnoticed)

My set up - 77 degrees. About 4 good hiding spots, pine shavings for substrate, large water bowl. I have them in adult size sweater boxes and I was wondering if I should keep them in a shoebox size enclosure (you know how sometimes ball pythons feel insecure in larger areas and stop feeding)

Things I've tried - Live guppies in their water bowl - overnight as well as during the day, live guppies in a delicup overnight, dead guppiues in a delicup and at the opening of their hiding spot (overnight as well). Moving a guppy in their face but they are too shy for that.

Ps - I don't handle them and they are in an area with no traffic by the cage. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Tom
