BRB Dropped 26 Little Nippers!

I love Rainbows, and the babies are adorable.

What do you plan to start feeding them with? I am hoping to have brb babies this year. My first time so I am not exactly sure what size they can be started with. Rat pinks or mice pink or mice fuzzy?

Most of the time they will readily take either.

Mice fuzzies for all but the two that didn't absorb the yolk, I'll start them on pinks since they're a good bit smaller than their siblings. After they grow a bit and then take a few mouse hopper feedings I like to switch to rat fuzzies.

How come you don't start them off on rats? Is it easier for them to take mice?

Partially availability, and partially because a mouse fuzzy/hopper is older and moves around more than a rat pink/fuzzy so it can elicit a better food response in the babies. Usually that's more of an issue with getting BP's to eat than a BRB though, the boas tend to be garbage guts.

Wow, what a beautiful family. You must be so proud! I saw your picture and immediately thought, I have to breed a pair of those one day. Very stunning! I hope they continue to do well!
