rats vs mice

[TheSnakeRack]

I am new to keeping ball pythons.

I want to know if I were to start breeding feeder rodents for BPs, should I breed rats or mice, or both?

Are rats of any age too big for baby pythons? Do I need mice pinkies for baby BPs or will rat pinkies be small enough?

Thanks

Baby BP are big enough to eat rat pinky with no problem. We feel it's best to get BP onto rat and keep them there. Once they get bigger it will take a few adult mice to equal one large rat. We have also found that rats are easier to keep and breed.
