Changing from mice to rats can be a pain when I got mine he had always been feed mice an had no interest what so ever, I had to skin a chicks wrap the skin around rat head to get him to take them, he now takes scented rats an is slowly showing interest in unscented. If its in blue though she does need to just leave it they turn evil.......
