Rat Pinks Too Small?

[BrianaK]

I've been giving my new Lesser, about a month old, (108 grams) rat pinks because thats what the breeder was feeding her. It seems like its the size of the thickest part of her body but from what I've been hearing, rat pinks are too small for hatchling BPs. Is this true? Thanks in advance.

To give you an idea I start BP hatchling on small rat fuzzies.

At a 108 grams a rat pink is definitely too small.

For real? It seems so perfect. Okay thanks, I guess I'll get rat fuzzies, thank you.

You want there to be a noticeable bulge after they eat. Not a BIG bulge but a noticeable one.

I start all of my hatchlings off on mouse hoppers which are also larger then rat pinks. I think rat pinks are too small to help your snake grow, however sometimes you'll get a hatchling that seems to refuse eating anything with fur and rat pinks can come in handy just to get them feeding. But if it'll take furred rodents, I'd switch over to those.
