you will be fine kind of switching back and forth. just make sure you dont give them a hamster or something pricy like that. i have heard of people feeding there snake a hamster then it only starts to like those. and that is verry pricy.

HEHE... that sounds like how my wife feeds our kids... if it's in the fridge it is going on the table. Maybe that's why she makes me keep my feeders in the garage freezer.... hmmmmm....
Peace!!:D
Re: can i feed mice or rats depending on what's available?
I feed mine mice, rats, and my big girl gets rabbits and guinea pigs for treats. They take them readily and wouldn't hesitate on any prey I offer. I had problems with Ruby to get rabbits at first but now its not a big deal. In otherwords yes, Varied diet with rodents in boas is ok IMO. I have heard of boas getting stuck on gerbils and hamsters and getting them switched to rats and mice may be a problem. Its up to you
