No. I would say a hopper is about the size of a day old rat pinky, somethign similar to that anyways. There could of been reasons that your snake was eating mice. Most breeders feed live and not f/t. So if the snake didn't take right away with rats he could of left them on mice because a rat hopper will move a lot more then a rat pinkie or fuzzy. Movement and heat are two of the snakes biggest hunting triggers.

You should always ask a lot of questions, and if the breeder gets annoyed then you walk. It's about customer service and I just being a neutral person on here didn't feel like he provided you with the customer service that I would of expected from my local breeders. Hell I go annoy Tim Bailey sometimes on the weekends just because he's my friend and I enjoy shooting the bull with him. I would try a f/t rat for the simple fact that he didn't tell you much nor did you ask much, but in the end the situation is up to you.
