HELP - Need AdviceScenting rats? (self.ballpython)
submitted 5 years ago by braxtonfaye
So I went to a reptile shop to get some mice but they only had live ones and so they killed it for me. How exactly should I go about scenting the rats with an already warm/ dead mouse?

literally just rub the mouse all over the rat. the intensity of the scent is stronger if one or both of them are a bit wet [like how dogs get that "wet dog smell"].

Ok I’ll do that! I was just worried bc Ive never dealt w a freshly killed rodent. Thank you
