|
|
Hello
I just bought some T-Rex mouse maker off eBay. It makes mice smell like mice and rats smell like mice.
Tried my new royal with it to try and get her back feeding and she didn't bother. But I noticed my other female which has been off her food also going mad in her box.
I had fed her a rat the night before(without t-Rex, 1st she would take in 3 weeks and thought that would be that, but with mouse maker she had 2 more rats. Feeding frenzy would not like to get some on my hand. If I can get her to eat 2x 60 Gram rats a week with it she should easily be up to breeding size this year. hope its not a fluke. will let you know.
anyone else used this stuff. if so did it do you any good?
thanks

Interesting Mike, not really heard of that product (knew something similar existed, also lizard markers I think?).
Like you say I think you need to achieve this with a few more snakes to know that it wasn't a 'one off' or fluke. _________________

It's by the same people.
I bought the mouse one to put on rats and it had no effect |

I used it to scent a rat for my male royal. It started to eat one of the rats legs and came to a dead end and gave up. For royals which respond to it make sure you put it on the nose/head or the royal will start at the scent.(I am an idiot at times) it does actually say it in the instructions.
Have heard some good reviews, but it depends on snake. some think its brill, but more probably don't. If anyone is having trouble with a royal, give it a go and let us know. it certainly cannot do any harm. other than the 6 quid.
thanks
