This is going to sound really stupid but have you tried moving the tub around with one of the others? I tried that one once when I was going nuts and it worked Shocked

and double check the temp in that particular tub, I've been caught out by that one as well, 4 tubs on 1 shelf and the snakes in the tubs at either end wouldn't eat, turned out they were cooler than I had realised, the mat was right, but the airflow around the ends was cooler so it dropped the temp of the tubs Laughing

I still think the little beggers will play you up just for the hellof it though, I have a couple playing silly beggars at the moment, it's just a battle of wills!!! Laughing

What else have you tried?

different colours, sizes, waggling for hours (seems like), used rat bedding, braining, really heating rat up, feeding after other 2.
Will try moving positions, thanks Claire.
