Feeding mice vs rats?

[357]

You don't want to buy the rats from petsmart, not only are they ridiculously overpriced, but they don't come in the various sizes required. You need to find a source of feeder rodents.

I buy mine online from a site called rodent pro I save $250-$300 over a 6 month period buying my rodents from Rodent Pro:

If you are really wanting to stick with live you are going to need to either find a local rodent breeder or a reptile shop that sells feeder rodents.

A BP can't eat full grown rats but smalls-medium rats are a staple of most BP's diets.

This is what I hate about BP's too many conflicting statements. I was told 15% of body weight, thats 225-240g. That is a large rat, so how can it be that he can't eat one?

If he can't eat an adult rat is there any harm in feeding multiple mice? I want to breed my own, no breeders within an hour of my house and I enjoy doing as much myself as I can.

And are their different breeds of rodents that would be 200g~ at adult weight and easy to colonize?
