Feeding a baby ball python

[Nate]

Ordering on rodent pro right now, and i'm ordering *just in case* i see some eggs in the upcoming months.

What is the proper sized food for a baby ball python? (according to rodent pro..)

rats:
Pinkies?
Fuzzies?
or Pups?

and mice:
Large Pinkies?
Peach Fuzzies?
Fuzzies?
Hoppers?

I have never ordered from Rodent Pro so I am not sure on the sizes. I would get rat pinks. I have used these for years with great success. If you prefer mice, I would go with large mice fuzzies or small hoppers.

Here's how Adam gets his hatchlings started - and he starts with rat pinks:

and nate, remember frozen items only hold their nutritive value for 6 months when frozen in a deep freeze.

so ordering when you have the snakes to feed is probably healthier for your snakes.
