See if you have a reptile shop in your area, they usually have feeder rodents of all sizes.
There might be a rodent breeder or snake breeder in your area. You might be able to get some feeders there as well.

I found somewhere local i believe. Should I just get more mice for him tomorrow cause he is definitely still hungry, following my hand around and everything. Or shall I wait for his next feed? Thanks everyone for being so helpful im sorry for asking so many questions its just i want to give this guy the best possible life.

I would just wait, you don't want to over do it, and if he is a little hungrier next feeding day then you'll have better chances of him taking the rats.

Where would I go about buying them, cause the store I bought these feeder mice was the only place that sold them and they didnt have an feeder rats, but i guess I could just get the pet rats.
I wouldn't go with the pet rats they are bred differently and much more expensive than one bred for feeding. I have no idea if the breed or anything is actually different. I know the pet shop I get my feeders at they have a sign clearly stating the "pet" rats and mice lol. They are about 3x the price of the feeders.

Re: New Owners here!
I guess it would come down to cost if they don't have feeders. If the price of on pet rat is the same or less then the cost of 4-5 mice then you might as well. Personally I prefer live but in your situation you might want to look at mail order. Not sure if anyone ships pre-killed but it's worth looking into.

For me 5 feeder mice was I think 8.93 or something like that, and the pet rats are like 6 bucks or something.
