I have a few questions about feeding mice vs. rats...

Is size the only real benefit to feeding rats?

Or is their nutritional content better suited to BP's? (I suspect both are contributing factors)

Would feeding two (or more to equal the same mass as a rat) adult mice be an alternative to feeding one adult rat?

But does feeding multiple prey items pose problems for some? (My guess is probably)

I ask because feeding mice could be potentially more convenient/less expensive. I also have two corns, and I'm interested in making an online order... and I'm sure as you all know, rats cost more than mice! I've found that on most of the online supplier's sites, the cost of two adult mice is usually less than the cost of one adult rat. (But if it would take more than two mice to equal one rat the cost difference may not be much.)

I'm just throwing this idea out there, wondering if I've got anything here (though I highly doubt it, or people would have figured it out a while ago ), if rats are really the way to go then rats it is!

Thanks for any information!
