    ha ha.....

    I feed mice because rats are hard to get around here and I breed my own mice. My bps do really well on multiple mice too. I could not ask for better feeders :)

    Kashmire's on live mice, similar to your situation, Daniel, rats are hard to find around here. But I'm NOT breeding mice, not gonna do it! LOL I might buy a couple to fatten up a week before feeding, but he normally just takes one a week. He's a great feeder too!

    i feed mine rats cuz around here the rats are way cheaper than mice, and it would be way too expensive to get 2 or 3 mice every 7-10 days for me. my BPs seem to do fine, i dont know what my adult male was fed before i got him but i fed my female mice every ten days cuz i heard theres this argument that mice have more calcium or are more nutricious or somethin.

    Multiple mice until last week, rat weans now (rat --- the other white meat!), pre-killed usually.

    With the new WC...it'll be anything she'll eat however she'll eat it LOL.

    Just incase someone wants it, here is the nutritional value of feed items:

    The nutritional content really does not matter though.....no one knows the exact nutritional requirements of ball pythons. All I know is that they grow, breed, and lay eggs on both mice and rats :)

    Small rats...cheaper, meatier, less stinky. I'll throw a medium rat in every now and then to my female to keep her nice and buff, the male just gets small rats though.

    Haha Jo, that's what I tell the people who happen to look in our freezer. "What? You've never heard of people eatin' rats before? It's the 'other' white meat!" Hehe...

    Mine gets fed small rats, never misses a meal and snatches it off the hemostats before I can blink. I lurvs her :)
