Hello all,

I just purchased my first BP at a show on Saturday and wanted your opinions on prey item size. The breeder said she is already eating f/t and at first said that she was on small adult mice, but when I asked "so she hasn't been switched over to rats yet?" he said that he alternates between mice and rats when feeding and said that she could also take rat pups.. I am unfamiliar with size similarities between mice / rats, so wanted to check with you guys and see if a rat pup seemed an appropriate size for her (and is a suitable replacement for a small adult mouse). When I weighed her Saturday, she was 134 grams.

I have both frozen small mice and rat pups on hand, but would rather feed the pups if possible (have other snakes that will be eating small mice soon and none eating rat pups).

Thanks for your time and help!
