I had rat pups subbed in for mice my last order and my cornsnakes packed on the grams a lot faster then they did with mice. I spaced out the feeding from every 7 days to 10-14 days with the rat pups. I never did weigh the differece in an adult mouse vs a rat pup.


If the expense is too much why not start breeding your own? I wish we could breed rats here in Alberta, I have a colony of asf's, mice and hamsters. So that helps keep my collection fed.


Also keeping my fingers crossed that the kink is not genetic! I'd love to make some BEL's myself one day! I only have 2 bp's currently a male 2011 orange ghost and a 2012 het og(my xmas gift )
