    Feeder Mouse/Rat Size
    My new ball python has not been accepting live mice that move around too much, so I tried stunning the mouse but my snake would still not accept it. I have decided to buy a few frozen rats to try to feed to Nondo. What size rat should I get Nondo, he is about a year and and maybe a little longer than 1.5 feet. Also he weighs about 290 grams.

    Hes a year old and only weighs 290 grams? Anyway a good measurement is to feed them a size prey that is about as wide as the widest part of there body.

    If he is only about 1.5 long I would prob go with rat pup to freshly weaned small rat, but hard to tell without a picture.

    No problem, I had just done a search for it as I think it's time to switch from mice to rats and I was just going to place an order. Thanks for the info.
