    Hi,

    I have a young bp about 22 inches. I'm about to order from Rodent pro. What's a better feeder for a juvie, rat pups or adult mice? They're comparible in size and wieght.

    Thanks,

    the sooner you begin feeding rats the better. although sometimes the conversion is a bit tricky, so i'd get both if it's possible.

    Currently Keeping - 4 ball pythons, a redtail boa, and a cali king. Now look, admit it. You know you want to give me an albino ball python.

    Have you gotten your bp switched over to rats yet? Rat pups are better in the long run, definately. But like Will said it can be a tricky transition if it hasn't already been done. I would say go with rat pups overall, since you can begin switching it over with those. (Of course, if you haven't already).

    Good luck,
    Jennifer

    IOW, order a few adult mice to make sure he has something to eat if he's tricky to get onto rats.
