    Both my dudes eat mice, but the smaller one is now eating the same amount as the bigger one. After he gets a little fatter, and I run out of the bunch of mice I bought today (good CL deal), I'm gonna switch them both to rats.

    In all honesty, I like feeding mice because I get to watch them eat more, but since they're up to 3 mice each, it's starting to take an awful long time to feed them.

    I voted Rats. Once in a blue moon, if there is nothing else available, I might feed one-two mice. I breed rats though, so lately I have not had to buy feeders.When I hatch out baby BPs though, I start them on hopper mice.. it is just better IMO because rat pinks are about the same size, but the mice have fur and just seem more substantial. I will keep my hatchlings on a mixture of rats and mice though, so that their eventual buyer can choose what to use. I generally hate feeding mice though because I hate the way that they smell.

    Frozen thawed rats for the blood python.

    And not sure yet what my new female ball is gonna take. I tried a live small small rat the other night. To no avail. I put even smaller hides in there, so she's smushed in em.

    I also did just get her. So she may still be adjusting.

    Until now I've been feeding rats when the pet store had small ones and mice when they don't. Hopefully will soon be breeding my own rats. I'm just so tired of having to buy like 8 mice because they only have tiny mice and giant rats.

    Mice- I don't like rats, and we breed our own feeders to save money and time. So yeah, mice.

    Forgot about this thread. Personaly I use rats, but the pinstripe I have, well, he is eating mice. The reason is, he is a bit too small for the small rats I have in the freezer. If I known this before I placed the order for rodents, I would have added rat pups. Oh well, at least he eats :D
