hello guys, my local pet store only sells rat pups (pinkies) but does not sell rat fuzzies only mice fuzzies...the problem is that my corn doesnt like mice. Ive been tricking him into eating the mice fuzzies by rubbing brain fluid from the rat pup onto the mice. He takes both, but is this a good way of weaning him onto mice? Or should i search for a shop that sells rat fuzzies?

I think most of us would feed mice. Although they have less nutrients they are much less fattening! I'm sure those with more experience will put you right, if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure I'm correct. Having said that, I don't think the occasional rat pup will do any harm....
