i'm thinking about breeding feeders but i'm really not sure yet. we only have 2 bp's but the nearest place to get rats is a 45min. drive. very annoying. i really don't like mice so i'd rather not breed them. but on the other hand, i'm afraid the rats will grow too fast and i'm stuck with a bunch of full grown rats i can't use. is there something in between rat and mouse size that would work for me? my cousin and a friend each have a snake that could use some feeders too, so if i end up with too many i can always get rid of some that way. i'm just mainly concerned about the size issue. my bps will eat either 2 adult mice or 1 small rat every feeding (7-10days). i haven't really been able to put them on a feeding schedule because of the driving issue, which is why i'd like to breed..

i thought i saw a thread semi-recently about some kind of rat that doesn't grow as big as most but i can't find it now so maybe it was just wishful thinking....

any info or advice would be helpful! thanks!
