Have you tried scenting the rats with mice then slowly weaning her off the scented rats?

Okay, fair's fair.
Very Nice Diamond.
She will take a rat if you get 2 or 1 freshly kill mice & rap them together with the rat for 1/2 hr.
Try it, & let me know.

Yeah my diamond wouldn't eat rats either. I would defrost the rat and mouse together and offer the rat first in the tongs with the mouse hiden behind the rat. Jake would smell the mouse smell and take the rat. It sounds like a lot of work but he will now take a rat without all the defrosting together etc.
