Thanks for the encouragement, Travis. I have got them set up with hide boxes and am even keeping them in a dimly lit room. After 2 weeks, no luck with mice(fuzzies, small or large) introduced live or fresh killed small rats. Perhaps their docility masks a certain high strung nature. I am resisting the urge to handle them. I think I will try KJ's suggestion of pink rats next with baby gerbils as a last resort. I've also heard that they will actually take DOR kangaroo rats. Those are a little hard to come by here in South Florida. Travis, how long have you had yours? I have also heard they will feed for a while and then quit. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
