Hi I know I am keeping on about Winston not eating rats, I tried the follow on feeding method tonight but soon as I put rat in his mouth he started to pull away, he had the first mouse but just won't take the rat.should I try not feeding him for couple of weeks,or should I just keep giving him mice .

That sounds like a good plan, I had a lot of success rubbing a mouse over the nose of the rat.

I am not a fan of putting prey in water BUT if you put both the rat and the mouse in a tiny bit of water the 2 scents will mix in the water and make a rat/mouse c0cktail (swearbot behave) and both prey items will smell almost exactly the same.
