RE: lil head syndrome advice please

You shouldn't have to starve her. Give her a couple of weeks off then feed her a mouse. As soon as she's finished swallowing the mouse offer her the rat. She will still be very excited and with the smell of the mouse still around she should take the rat. Try scenting it with a mouse also to improve the chances of her accepting it. Do this a couple of times and she will quickly learn to recognize the scent of a rat as food, and she should begin to take rats on their own.
