That's a good idea I think I might order 10 rat fuzzies & 10 rat pups, just to get him started & go from there. The breeder also told me he's been feeding him mostly mice but he could take a rat fuzzy/pup w/no problem. Thing is, he hatched sometime last November & his weight is 108 grams; is that normal for a 5 mth old BP? Like I said I'm very new & still learning
You won't be able to purchase 10 of each from the online vendors. They sell by the bag and fuzzy/pups will be 25-50 per bag. I use Rodent Pro and Big Cheese. RP is 50 per bag and BC 25. So in your case I'd go with Big Cheese. Plus they have a $29 flat shipping fee special running right now.
Laynelabs.com will sell them in 5s & 10s but their shipping is outrageously expensive. More to ship than for th price of the food!
With very small orders shipping will usually be costlier than the product. Also the unit price is pretty high. I ran an order of 10 fuzzy/10 pup through Layne's shipping calculator using my Florida zip and total cost is $71 for 20 rats. You could get 25 of each from Big Cheese for $65. A much better deal. If the snake starts to outgrow fuzzies, you could offer 2 per feeding until they are gone. Though some BPs seem adverse to accepting multiple items per feeding, it probably would not be an issue.

How long does the flat rate shipping special usually last?
